RDimAPI: Gathering percentage contribution of live load in RDimEff force.

[pawel.soltysiak]

Hello,

I am currently workig on Live Load Reduction using RDim Steel. I am trying to find the way to

- collect information about how many % of axial force in column is caused by every each load case in load combination

or

- change the ratios of simple cases in load combination for single bar calculations in RDimCalcEngine.

I am digging through the API for many hours now and still didn't find way to do this. Is it even possible ? If so, how to do it ?

Many Thanks,

Paweł.

No way.

HINT: design it for such simple case and check % of axial force

If you get involve in the octopus project, you will be able to make this kind of analysis easely -> search for octopus project on the top page of the forum.

Octopus is an excell addin for robot but as rafal said, nothing "inside" robot to do this kind of thing.

He does not need Octopus. He develops his own application \ addin. 

There is nothing more in Octopus than in API, just differently "served" for non-developer people.

I agree he doens't "need" it and this can be developped in a specific API.
