Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis

[#1]

Hello,

i'm trying to retrieve CodeResults using RobotOM steel API. My code (at the failure lines) goes like this:

....

....

IRDimDetailedRes RDmDetRes;
RDmDetRes = (IRDimDetailedRes) RdmAllRes.Get(49); //get a specific bar 

IRDimCodeResEC3 RdmCodeRes;
RdmCodeRes = (IRDimCodeResEC3) RDmDetRes.CodeResults;

double MPl = RdmCodeRes.PlastMomStrenMplyrd;

When i run my code I get this error message: 

 error: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'RobotOM.IRDimCodeResEC3'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{21F70924-8B6C-470F-A19F-5DC40565936D}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). (line: 186)

Am i using the wrong Code interface? Do i have to instansiate the codeparams for the specific code before that?

Thanks in advance.

Try to use IRDimCodeResE32 interface

[#3]

Rafal,

still that interface does not exist. I've also tried updating the com interface (from autodesks support page/COM hotfix)

but no change...

Send me the whole code

// new object Robot application
RobotApplication robApp;
robApp = new RobotApplicationClass();

robApp.Interactive = 1;

if (robApp.Project.IsActive == 0)

return;
}

// Dim robapp As IRobotStructure

What is the code set in Job Prefereces?

It should be ENV 1993-1-2005/AC:2009

One more hint: check whether the results for selected bar exist (not null)

[#7]

Rafal,

i'm using that code and that i'm calculating design resluts for all the bars. Could you please send me the list of parent interfaces used in the API for Eurocode design codes? Or does IRDimEurocodeE32 superseeds all the previous eurocode interfaces?

[#8]

IRDimCodeResEC3 - old eurocode

IRDimCodeResEC32 - new one and all NADs. You should be able to get results for all NADs but setting some country specific data for calculations may not be possible.

There are also interfaces for PN, ASD, CM66 codes in Robot.
