Syntax

Description

If enabled, this option writes out wetted faces as shells, saving space over writing the complete set of solid elements. However, only nodal contour data can be displayed on the resulting faces. (This option only works in the old engine and is depricated).

Inputs

flag: True or false.

Example

To write out a solid model as wetted faces:

hwi GetSessionHandle mySessionName
mySessionName GetH3DExportOptionsHandle option_handle
option_handle SetWriteSolidsAsFaces true

Errors
