Convert SG Data

sgio.convert() reads one format and writes another in a single call. The sgio convert CLI command exposes the same operation.

import sgio

sgio.convert(
    file_name_in='input.inp',
    file_name_out='output.sg',
    file_format_in='abaqus',
    file_format_out='vabs',
    model_type='BM2',
)

sgio convert input.inp output.sg -ff abaqus -tf vabs -m BM2

Python	CLI	Purpose
file_format_in / file_format_out	-ff / -tf	source and target format
file_version_in / file_version_out	-ffv / -tfv	format version, e.g. VABS 4.0 → 4.1
model_type	-m	structural model
sgdim	-d	SG dimension, when the format does not imply it
model_space	-ms	plane of a 2D section: xy, yz, zx
analysis	-a	h, d, or fi
mesh_only	-mo	convert geometry only

Format identifiers and the conversion matrix are in Formats and Model Types; the full signature is in I/O Functions.

See Examples for worked conversions.
