class CAEngine (ADE)

Creation

Use of ADE really starts with the creation of a CAEngine object, from which all else flows. If you are using the ADEW.dll in-process server, you can only create and use one CAEngine instance. If you are using the ADE.exe out-of-process server, you may create as many CAEngine instances as you desire, each one running as a separate process. In web-based applications, a separate CAEngine instance is typically created for each user session. Each CAEngine instance can have one model loaded at a time.

You can either create a CAEngine instance directly, or by calling CALicense::NewCAEngine(). The later method requires you to first create a CALicense instance, but has the advantage that you can obtain further information about the cause of failure when creation fails. Direct creation of CAEngine will fail if the license to use ADE on the given computer is invalid, expired, etc.

See CAEngine for language-specific details.
