hoops_ai.cadaccess.HOOPSLoader
- class hoops_ai.cadaccess.HOOPSLoader
Bases:
CADLoader- create_from_file(filename)
Reads a CAD file and initializes the CAD model.
- Parameters:
filename (str)
- Return type:
- get_general_options()
Returns the current settings (dict) for loading the CAD file, so the user can see or modify them. Note: read_solids (new API) is returned as read_solid for backward compatibility.
- classmethod get_load_count()
Get the current load counter value.
- Returns:
Number of successful file loads since last reinitialize.
- Return type:
- get_model()
Returns the CAD model.
- Return type:
- classmethod reinitialize()
Force cleanup of loaded models and reset the singleton state.
This method is useful when: - Files are not being properly released by Exchange - Memory needs to be freed after processing many files - You want to ensure a clean state before loading new files
Note: This clears the current model state to release references and help with garbage collection. The license remains set (he.set_license is idempotent).
Warning: Any existing HOOPSModel references may become invalid after calling this.
- Usage:
loader = HOOPSLoader() # … process files … HOOPSLoader.reinitialize() # Clear state and release model references # … continue with new files …
- classmethod set_auto_reinit_threshold(threshold)
Configure the auto-reinitialization threshold.
HOOPSLoader automatically calls reinitialize() after loading N successful files to prevent memory accumulation. Use this method to adjust the threshold.
- Parameters:
threshold (int) – Number of successful file loads before auto-reinitialize. Set to 0 or negative to disable auto-reinitialization.
- Usage:
HOOPSLoader.set_auto_reinit_threshold(500) # Reinit every 500 files HOOPSLoader.set_auto_reinit_threshold(0) # Disable auto-reinit
