When i model a building, i use primary sections for columns, beams, ... based on my experience and expectation for the internal forces that will be generated on these members. Then after modeling, i import the forces on members in Excel using Results Connect, then i design these members using some Excel sheets i made before. (I know that i can design in robot but i prefer to check my manual design on Robot).
After designing members, i need to change some members section in Robot model.
Is there's a link (API) between Robot and Excel, which i can use to change members' sections from excel despite instead of going back to Robot and change it manually.
Thank you ๐

Mr. @Refaat
I know that there's an API that i can use do define new sections in robot from Excel. I was asking whoever there's another which can assign section to list of bars/members from excel.
Thank you very much ๐

Sure it is possible to write such macro. I am not aware of any similar already posted on forum.
If you do not want to try API by yourself ,maybe try Stefano's macro.
Thank you Mr. @Rafal.Gaweda
I really want to learn API but i don't know how to start.
If there's any tutorials, I'll be very thankful. ๐
Thank u for your time.
