public static extern Int32 sdaiCreateInstance(int_t model, int_t entity);

Property model

Size: 32 bit / 4 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.

    //  This function is an alternative to the API call sdaiCreateInstanceBN()
    //  based on sdaiCreateInstance().
    //
    //  Use of sdaiCreateInstance() can lead to performance improvement compared to sdaiCreateInstanceBN().
    //
    Int64 entity = ifcengine.sdaiGetEntity(model, entityName);

    return ifcengine.sdaiCreateInstance(model, entity);
