API RSA - bars table

[Anonymous]

I would like to use API to open a .rtd file, get the bars table and collect information from it (for each bar, sart and end node, section, material, gamma angle, bar type). What is the syntax for that ?

Thanks

I would like to use API to open a .rtd file,

robotapplication.Project.Open

get the bars table and collect information from it (for each bar, sart and end node, section, material, gamma angle, bar type). What is the syntax for that ?

This way only by saving to csv file.

I suggest just to get bar collection and get data from there. Example for steel members:

Dim Bar As RobotBar
Dim Sec As RobotBarSection
Dim BarCol As RobotBarCollection
Dim Mat As RobotLabel
Dim BarType As RobotLabel
.....
For i = 1 To BarCol.Count
    
    Set Bar = BarCol.Get(i)

    Set Sec = Bar.GetLabel(I_LT_BAR_SECTION)
    Set Mat = Bar.GetLabel(I_LT_MATERIAL)
    Set BarType = Bar.GetLabel(I_LT_MEMBER_TYPE)
    
    Cells((7 + i), 1) = Bar.Number
    Cells((7 + i), 2) = Sec.Name
    Cells((7 + i), 3) = Bar.StartNode
    Cells((7 + i), 4) = Bar.EndNode
    Cells((7 + i), 5) = Mat.Name
    Cells((7 + i), 6) = Bar.Gamma
    Cells((7 + i), 7) = BarType.Name

Thanks, I'll try this.

And to get results (displacements, forces, stresses, reactions, ...), which classes are to be used ?
