*rescanunresolvedids

Discards the unresolved IDs database and creates a new one by examining every entity and its link to other entities to see which are actually unresolved.

Syntax

*rescanunresolvedids

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

When importing a file that references entities that are in another file that is not imported at the same time, those entities are recorded and protected from overwrite so that the links will not be lost. This way, fragments of a larger model can be edited while keeping links to the other parts of the model intact.

If another fragment of the larger model containing some of the unresolved references is imported, HyperMesh will complete the links between the two model fragments and remove the protected entity IDs from the unresolved IDs database.

If any referring entities are deleted or re-linked to other entities, there can be left unnecessary entries in the unresolved IDs database. This command can be used to empty the database and rebuild it.

Normally, the feinput system handles everything automatically. The last step of an feinput operation calls this command automatically, so the result after any import is a fully up-to-date unresolved IDs database. Therefore, the need to use this command is very rare and is provided for situations that need to exactly target the creation of new entities to fulfill the unresolved links.
