Robot API - Unable to Add New Member Type using CSA S16-09 Code

Anonymous — Thu, 04 Aug 2016 20:21:13 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to add a new member type to a project using the API, however I have not been able to do so using the CSA S16-09 code. I am able to add a new member type if I switch the code to ANSI/AISC 360-05, but I need to be using the Canadian code. I also noticed that the CSA code is not allowing access to the CodeParams interface when defining the member type label (maybe it doesn't exist?). The AISC code does allow use of Code Params, so maybe this is why this is not working with the CSA code. More explanation with pictures below.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to get this to work with the Canadian code.

Thanks!

No new member type created/stored from above code with CSA S16-09:

I'm sorry but there is no API for CSA S16-09 implemented in Robot.

Dear Arthur,

I am revisiting this topic after 10 years.

Has CSA S16 been implemented in the API of any of the more recent releases of Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis?

Thank you in advance.
