InferenceInstance

This function fills in values that are implicitly known but not given by the user. This function can also be used to identify default values of properties if not given.

public static extern Int64 InferenceInstance(Int64 owlInstance);

Property owlInstance

Size: 64 bit / 8 byte (value)
The handle to the specific instance in the design tree. The instance handle is static within one open model but is most probably different when the same instance is opened in another model. The instance is always exactly of one unique class.

Example (based on pure API calls)

Here you can find code snippits that show how the API call InferenceInstance can be used.

using RDF;      //  include at least engine.cs within your solution

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Int64 model = RDF.engine.CreateModel();

    if (model != 0)
    {

                classMatrix = RDF.engine.GetClassByName(model, "Matrix");

        //
        //  Object Properties (relations)
        //
        Int64   propertyMatrix = RDF.engine.GetPropertyByName(model, "matrix");
