Auto save


Hello,
I am having below questions.
1) Is there any shortcut key to save HM?
2) Is there any process or any script to auto saving HM file? that could help to save the file at regular interval.
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep

Hi,
Is there any function that Hypermesh just save file without geometry data?
so autosave will not be lag when process big file.
I thought about export solver deck when autosave, but it still costs much time with big file, because of writing as text data
So I've been searching a function to write binary data...


Hi Tinh,
Autosave saves all the details in .hm file.
Can you try with entity state browser?. The export/do not export option in entity state browser determines whether entities are to be exported or not. Using this, user can export only the required data.
Hi Sir, I found a way
entity state browser control import/export but as I say, exporting to text data still cost much time
I found in HM14 a function named *filewriteentities that can save binary FEM data only
the only an inconvenience that I have to organize FEM and GEOM data in different comps which are stored in different modules, too
another function, *filewritecomponentgeometry can save a component to hm file. but it is save only GEOM
hoping there is a function named *filewritecomponentfem ... in future versions

Hello sir,
now its working fine. thank you so much...
one more doubt regarding the same.
it saves extension as .hmbackup, if unfortunately file corrupted i can open the .hmbackup & can work on it.
but while working on .hmbackup file i am unable to save the file manually. is it again automatically saving the iterations or i have to save .hm file separately ?

Hi Sandeep,
You will have to save the file separately.

Hello Sir,

Hi Sandeep,
To create a shortcut for saving as .hm file in HyperMesh use eval [[. cget -menu].file invoke 2] command in the keyboard shortcut menu.


ok sir i will try this.
regarding autosave script. one thing i want to share. we can change extension .hmbackup to .hm & its working fine
can refer below image.
