The SpaceClaim solver node supports SpaceClaim project files (*.scdoc, *scdocx) or all files (*).
Setup
You can open an existing SpaceClaim project in the node dialog box. Parameters are loaded and listed in the Parameters table. You can then register them as parameters or input slots using drag and drop or the respective buttons.
Execution Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Product | Select the version of SpaceClaim to use from the list of supported versions. |
| Batch mode |
Controls whether SpaceClaim is started with or without a user interface.
|
| Python script pre update | When selected, allows you to execute a Python script before the design is updated. After selecting the check box, set the path to the Python script file. |
| Python script post update | When selected, allows you to execute a Python script after the design is updated. After selecting the check box, set the path to the Python script file. |
The following execution sequence runs for each design:
Open project
Execute Python script pre-update
Update parameters
Check set parameters
Export geometries/images
Execute Python script post-update
Close project
Note: The parameters are updated in the order displayed in the Parameter pane. The sort order is always alphabetical and you can change the order by renaming the parameters.
The following environment variables are available for the Python scripts during the execution sequence.
| Environment Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| OSL_DESIGN_NO | Current design number (for example, 0.1). |
| OSL_DESIGN_NAME | Current design directory name (for example, Design0001). |
| OSL_DESIGN_DIR | Absolute path of the current design directory. |
| OSL_PROJECT_DIR | Absolute path of the current project (*.opd). |
| OSL_WORKING_DIR | Absolute path of the current working directory. |
| OSL_NODE_NAME | Name of the current node. |
| OSL_RLS_VER | Version number of optiSLang. |
| OSL_RLS_REV | Revision number of optiSLang. |
| OSL_RLS_FLG | Empty unless a specific version of optiSLang is used. |
Note:
You get access to the environment variables by using the following IronPython code:
OSL_DESIGN_DIR = args_dict['OSL_DESIGN_DIR']
Export Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Export formats | Select one or more format check boxes to write as result files in the design directory. |
| Additional formats | Exports defined file types during the run. In the field, separate the file types using commas (,), semicolons (;), or pipes (|). For supported export formats, see Exporting: Supported File Formats in the SpaceClaim Documentation. |
Run Options
This node has general Run Options. The number of supported options is individual for each node.
Hint: Using the run option "Designs per process" can lead to a very high memory allocation of the SpaceClaim project, as the allocated memory is only released when the SpaceClaim process is closed. It is recommended to use a small number for "Designs in process" if memory is limited.
Log Management
SpaceClaim logs information automatically into the log file, which can be found in one of the following directories:
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\SpaceClaim\Log Files
C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\SpaceClaim\Log Files
Limitations
Windows operating system only.
