STEPControl_Writer Class Reference

This class creates and writes STEP files from Open CASCADE models. A STEP file can be written to an existing STEP file or to a new one. Translation can be performed in one or several operations. Each translation operation outputs a distinct root entity in the STEP file. More...

Detailed Description

This class creates and writes STEP files from Open CASCADE models. A STEP file can be written to an existing STEP file or to a new one. Translation can be performed in one or several operations. Each translation operation outputs a distinct root entity in the STEP file.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ STEPControl_Writer() [1/2]

STEPControl_Writer::STEPControl_Writer ( )

Creates a Writer from scratch.

◆ STEPControl_Writer() [2/2]

STEPControl_Writer::STEPControl_Writer ( const Handle< XSControl_WorkSession > &  WS,
const Standard_Boolean  scratch = Standard_True 
)

Creates a Writer from an already existing Session If <scratch> is True (D), clears already recorded data.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Model()

Handle< StepData_StepModel > STEPControl_Writer::Model ( const Standard_Boolean  newone = Standard_False)

Returns the produced model. Produces a new one if not yet done or if <newone> is True This method allows for instance to edit product or header data before writing.

◆ PrintStatsTransfer()

void STEPControl_Writer::PrintStatsTransfer ( const Standard_Integer  what,
const Standard_Integer  mode = 0 
) const

Displays the statistics for the last translation. what defines the kind of statistics that are displayed:

  • 0 gives general statistics (number of translated roots, number of warnings, number of fail messages),
  • 1 gives root results,
  • 2 gives statistics for all checked entities,
  • 3 gives the list of translated entities,
  • 4 gives warning and fail messages,
  • 5 gives fail messages only. mode is used according to the use of what. If what is 0, mode is ignored. If what is 1, 2 or 3, mode defines the following:
  • 0 lists the numbers of STEP entities in a STEP model,
  • 1 gives the number, identifier, type and result type for each STEP entity and/or its status (fail, warning, etc.),
  • 2 gives maximum information for each STEP entity (i.e. checks),
  • 3 gives the number of entities by the type of a STEP entity,
  • 4 gives the number of of STEP entities per result type and/or status,
  • 5 gives the number of pairs (STEP or result type and status),
  • 6 gives the number of pairs (STEP or result type and status) AND the list of entity numbers in the STEP model.

◆ SetTolerance()

void STEPControl_Writer::SetTolerance ( const Standard_Real  Tol)

Sets a length-measure value that will be written to uncertainty-measure-with-unit when the next shape is translated.

◆ SetWS()

void STEPControl_Writer::SetWS ( const Handle< XSControl_WorkSession > &  WS,
const Standard_Boolean  scratch = Standard_True 
)

Sets a specific session to <me>

◆ Transfer()

IFSelect_ReturnStatus STEPControl_Writer::Transfer ( const TopoDS_Shape sh,
const STEPControl_StepModelType  mode,
const Standard_Boolean  compgraph = Standard_True 
)

Translates shape sh to a STEP entity. mode defines the STEP entity type to be output:

  • STEPControlStd_AsIs translates a shape to its highest possible STEP representation.
  • STEPControlStd_ManifoldSolidBrep translates a shape to a STEP manifold_solid_brep or brep_with_voids entity.
  • STEPControlStd_FacetedBrep translates a shape into a STEP faceted_brep entity.
  • STEPControlStd_ShellBasedSurfaceModel translates a shape into a STEP shell_based_surface_model entity.
  • STEPControlStd_GeometricCurveSet translates a shape into a STEP geometric_curve_set entity.

◆ UnsetTolerance()

void STEPControl_Writer::UnsetTolerance ( )

Unsets the tolerance formerly forced by SetTolerance.

◆ Write()

IFSelect_ReturnStatus STEPControl_Writer::Write ( const Standard_CString  filename)

Writes a STEP model in the file identified by filename.

◆ WS()

Handle< XSControl_WorkSession > STEPControl_Writer::WS ( ) const

Returns the session used in <me>
