...

__int64 model = sdaiOpenModelBN(0, ifcFileName, ifcSchemaName);
if  (model) {
    ...         //  Use the open model to read/write/edit the content
    ...         //  or to create geometry

    char    * ifcFileNameSaving;
    ...

    sdaiSaveModelBN(model, ifcFileNameSaving);
    sdaiCloseModel(model);
    model = 0;  //  Not required of course
