API Reinforced Concrete - RC - Member Calculations -Report

calixto380 — Sat, 17 Oct 2020 21:16:07 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I would like to know how to use the RSA API to check whether there are errors or not in calculations of reinforced concrete members. I am doing a loop to test different possibilities of structure and I would like to "penalize" structures that have calculation errors.

For that, inside my loop there should be a check/verification for errors or not.

I know where to check this in the graphical interface (attached below), but I need to do it using C# scripts.

If this is not possible with the API, I would like to know if it is possible to obtain the values in the "remarks" column.

Thanks in advance!

As you mentioned in the other thread, it seems that it is impossible to get the value of a string with the ResultValue method because it returns a double.

I tried to use the method ResultValue in some structures and it always returned 0 for ResultId / * 1166 * / T_BEST_SCRATCH.

So it seems to me that there is no way to get the value of the REMARKS column via API.

I tried the following code:

IRobotApplication totalSteel;
totalSteel = new RobotApplication();

IRConcrMemberRequiredReinfEngine rcEngine;
rcEngine = totalSteel.Project.ConcrReinfEngine.MemberRequiredReinf;

int loadCase = 2; //case ULS 2 for the structure
IRConcrMemberRequiredReinfCalcParams barRnfParams;
barRnfParams = rcEngine.Params;
IRobotSelection caseULS;
caseULS = barRnfParams.CasesULS;
caseULS.FromText(loadCase.ToString());

RobotBarServer barServer = totalSteel.Project.Structure.Bars;
RobotUniversalResultAccess results = totalSteel.Project.Structure.Results.Any;

int barNumber = 1; //testing bar number 1(column);

results.Bar = barNumber;
results.CalcPoint = 1;
resIdForRemarks = 1166; //Id for remarks
results.ResultId = resIdForRemarks;
string x = results.ResultValue.ToString();
MessageBox.Show("Remarks for columns/bar 1 is: " + x); //The message was REMARKS FOR COLUMNS/BAR 1 IS 0
