Python interface: Creating objects

To create an empty OrcaFlex model, create an instance of the class Model with no parameters:

This empty model already contains some objects created for you. Conveniently this includes the environment and the general model objects, these are available as properties of the model object:

If an existing model is opened then the model objects within can be accessed by name:

A list of all the objects in a model is returned by calling:

These objects are instances of OrcaFlexObject or one of its subclasses, according to the object type requested.

To add more model objects to your model you need to call the CreateObject method which itself calls the C API C_CreateObject function. The Python interface method also allows you to set an object name in the same method call. For example, Python code to create a line type, line and a vessel is shown below:
