CreateUserDefinedModel

Creates a user-defined model.

Note: This option can be used to create a UDM from a Discovery model (Modeler > Discovery Link).

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
<Parameters>	Array	Structured array. ["NAME:UserDefinedModelParameters", <definitionArray>, <optionsArray>, <geometryParamsArray>, "DllName:=", <string filepath>, "Library:=", <string>, "Version:=", <string> "ConnectionID:=", <string>]
<definitionArray>	Array	Structured array containing string "NAME:Definition"
<optionsArray>	Array	Structured array containing string "NAME:Options"
<geometryParamsArray>	Array	Structured array containing arrays for individual parameters: ["NAME:GeometryParameters", ["NAME:UDMParam", "Name:=" , <string>, "Value:=" , <string>, "PropType2:=" , <integer>, "PropFlag2:=" , <integer>]] Required UDM parameters depend on the UDM being created. To see which properties apply to a UDM, right-click the UDM in the Project Tree and select Properties. Then select the Parameters tab. `PropType2` can be any of the following: 0 – Property takes a string value. 1 – Property is a menu option. 2 – Property takes a number (integer or double). 3 – Property takes a value (numbers, variables, or expressions). 4 – Property is a file name. 5 – Property corresponds to a check box. 6 – Property specifies a 3D position. `PropFlag2` can be any of the following: 0 – No flags 1 – Read-only 2 – Must be integer 4 – Must be real 8 – Hidden `PropFlag2` values can be combined. For example, a read-only property that must be an integer would take the value 3. A hidden property that must be real would take the value 12. These values are further described in the `UserDefinedPrimitiveStructures.h` file included with the installation under "...\ANSYS Inc\v252\AnsysEM\UserDefinedPrimitives\Examples\Headers"

Return Value None
