#C API - Problems creating new Profile

[tiago.pereiraGB2J9]

Hi,

I´m trying to create a new profile using C# API, but I´ve found some problems. I want to create a I Type, for example, so, I used:

                ProfileTypeI TypeI1 = new ProfileTypeI();
                
                TypeI1.H = 100;
                TypeI1.B = 50;
                TypeI1.Tf = 6.8 ;
                TypeI1.Tw = 4.5;

But when I tried to assigned it to my beam, it seems that the software dont recognize the type that I´ve created, like it was missing to save in the database, or something like this. 

I think there´s missing some command in my code.

Does anyone know how to solve it?

Thanks!

I'm not firm in the API but from my point of view:

Advance Steel is based on profiles from databses, you could not just create an I Type beam with settings as you want. 
You had to insert the profiles in the database and then recall it from there.

Thanks @Sebastian_Eiche !

I´ve read about the possibility of inserting the data in the database, but I as have to insert more than 500 new sections of beams, I was thinking in a more automatic way. Besides that, thanks for the reply. 

Can I make more two questions?

• For material type creation, it´s the same? Only writing the information in the database and then recalling it from there?
• I´ve read that is possible to access the ADVS database in SQL, do you think it´s a good way? I mean, I´ll have the permission to write more data using SQL on the database?

Thanks so much again!

For sure you could add it directly in the databases via SQL script
