The aim of this article is to show and provide a script which allows the user to import a file and then convert it into an Implicit Modeling using the API Python in Inspire. This script can be taken as a reference to be replicated in further and different workflows.

For this example, the model used is in the Demo Browser (F7) in Inspire and this is called “bolt.x_t”.

The script can be copied directly into the Python API to obtain the result of the following image.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

from hwx import inspire
 
model = inspire.getModel()
print("parts:", model.parts)
 
filePath = inspire.getTutorialFilePath("Structures/bolt.x_t")
inspire.importFile(filePath)
print("parts:", model.parts)
 
bolt = model.parts[0]
nut = model.parts[1]
 
# Creating Implicit blank part for bolt.
implicitBolt = inspire.Implicit()
implicitBolt.name = "Implicit Bolt"
inspire.fitView()
 
# Creating Implicit blank part for nut.
implicitNut = inspire.Implicit()
implicitNut.name = "Implicit Nut"
inspire.fitView()
 
# Converting bolt and nut to implicit body.
implicitBolt.convertToImplicit(bolt)
implicitNut.convertToImplicit(nut)
