PWP_SITE_GROUPID

#define PWP_SITE_GROUPID   YourGroupIdHere

Globally unique site identifier 16-bit integer value.

If you plan on releasing a plugin outside your company, you will need to obtain a PWP_SITE_GROUPID value from Pointwise support. The plugin SDK combines the PWP_SITE_GROUPID value to construct globally unique ids (GUID).

For example, the CAEP_FORMATINFO::id values are initialized in rtCaepInitItems.h using MAKEGUID() as shown in the code below.

    //== CAEP_FORMATINFO FormatInfo
    {   PWP_SITE_GROUPNAME,     // const char *group
        "CaeXxxxx",             // const char *name
        MAKEGUID(ID_CaeXxxxx),  // PWP_UINT32 id
 
        PWP_FILEDEST_FILENAME,  // PWP_ENUM_FILEDEST fileDest

Note

Pointwise uses plugin GUIDs at runtime. Pointwise will not be able to load plugins properly at runtime if any id conflicts are detected.

If you do not define a PWP_SITE_GROUPID value, the SDK will default to PWP_GRPID_USER.

PWP_SITE_GROUPNAME

#define PWP_SITE_GROUPNAME   "YourGroupNameHere"

Your site's identifier string.

This string represents the company or group name you want associated with this plugin. For instance, all Pointwise distributed plugins use the group name "Pointwise". The group name is used by the framework to distinguish between similarly named exporters from different authors.

For example, as shown in the list below, the Pointwise application will display a CAE exporter's full name as group/name.

• Alpha/CGNS
• Alpha/xml
• Beta/CGNS
• Beta/xml

The SDK returns this value in the CAEP_FORMATINFO::group data member as shown in the code below.

    //== CAEP_FORMATINFO FormatInfo
    {   PWP_SITE_GROUPNAME,     // const char *group
        "CaeXxxxx",             // const char *name
        MAKEGUID(ID_CaeXxxxx),  // PWP_UINT32 id

Note

If you do not define a PWP_SITE_GROUPNAME value, the SDK will default to PWP_GROUPNAME_DEFAULT.
