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.
- 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 does NOT recreate the HOOPS Exchange instance (which is tied to the license and can only be instantiated once). It clears the current model state to release references and help with garbage collection.
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
