SaveModelW

This function saves the current model on location fileName.

Syntax

C++ 32 bit
C++ 64 bit
C# 32 bit
C# 64 bit
//   Visual Studio for Windows
public:
__int64 __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall SaveModelW(
            __int64             model,
            const wchar_t       * fileName
        );

//   Linux, OS-X and non-Visual Studio Windows solutions
public:
int64_t SaveModelW(
            int64_t             model,
            const wchar_t       * fileName
        );

Property model

Size: 64 bit / 8 byte (value)
The handle to the model. The model handle is static during its existance. Several models can be opened simultaniously within one session. Different models are always independent, threads are allowed to be running on different models simultaniously.

Property fileName

Size: 32 bit / 4 byte (reference)
The file name of the file as available in the file system in ASCII (char *). The given char array will not be adjusted, on each OS the size of a char element is 8 bit / 1 byte.
