Automatic update IFC models

silje_kk

Hi,

Shot version:

Does anyone know how I can get a list of all the file paths of the models in my Solibri model? Ex. with the help of an ITO?
Does anyone else has a problem with the xml code line <autoupdatemodels/>?

Long version:
For some reason the xml code line <autoupdatemodels/> does not seem to work with my Solibri v. 9.13.4.19. Does anyone else have a problem with this code line?

I want to update all the ifc models in my Solibri model every night. Today I do this with an xml, where I list all the filepaths and use the code line <updatemodel file=“C:…” for each model. Not very efficient when the models are replaced/changed ++.

So now my plan B is to create the xml (that updates the Solibri model) with the “<updatemodel…” lines that is also automatically updated, like this:
0. Open the Solibri model (#1 xml)

Automatically export an ITO with the filepaths (#1 xml)
Create a script that translate the ITO to an xml with the “<updatemodel…” lines (script)
Run the new xml that update all the correct filepaths. (#2 xml)

Hope someone can help me

I don’t know if I can help you, but I use this XML structure below to update models:

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“ISO-8859-1”?>
<batch name=“UPDATE MODELS” default=“root”>

<openmodel 
  file="C:..." />

<autoupdatemodels/>

<savemodel 
  file="C:..." />

<exit />

</target>
</batch>

And to make it run at night, I use the Task Scheduler to run a .bat file like this:

@ECHO off

ECHO Autorun operating…
ECHO Please wait…

REM In the line below, you change the path to the SMC file for autorun.
“C:\Program Files\Solibri\SOLIBRI\Solibri.exe” “(xml path) C:…”

exit
