[EC8 & Python code]

[xroguiez]

Hello
I am trying to transform VBA code into Python from the example provided here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/robot-structural-analysis-forum/api-seismic-case-definition/m-p/33578...
But I can't access the GetAnalysisParams() methods :

caseEdX = structure.Cases.CreateSimple(6, "Ed+X",
RobotOM.IRobotCaseNature.I_CN_SEISMIC ,
RobotOM.IRobotCaseAnalizeType.I_CAT_DYNAMIC_SEISMIC)

num_EdX1 = caseEdX.GetSeismicCode #is empty
#doesn't work num_EdX1 = caseEdX.Records.New(RobotOM.IRobotSeismicAnalysis_EC8_General_Params) #a validate
EC8params = caseEdX.GetAnalysisParams #is empty too

Can someone help me?
Thanks for any help

Hello

Thanks to @Stephane.kapetanovic and @JacquesGaudin for their solution.

One partial (not defintitive ?) solution they found is to :

• first set the environnement which is recongnize via the API in Python like that

Preferences.SetActiveCode(RobotOM.IRobotCodeType.I_CT_SEISMIC_LOADS, "EN 1998-1:2004/A1:2013")​​

• make the settings for the parasismic case

EC8.Ag = 0.4
EC8.BehaviorFactor = 1
and so on...​​

• But I'm still unable to use the "NF EN 1998-1/NA:2013 DECEMBRE 2013" code in this context in Python.

Does anyone have an idea or tip ?

Thanks
Xavier

@Romanich @xroguiez @okapawal @Rafal.Gaweda 

Would you be able to confirm whether "NF EN 1998-1/NA:2013 DECEMBRE 2013" is implemented in the API? It looks like it isn't, but hard to know without someone from Autodesk confirming.

Thanks.

Hi @gwizdzm,

I hope you're well.

@xroguiez was trying to use the following code for seismic load "NF EN 1998-1/NA:2013 DECEMBRE 2013" and it seems that it isn't implemented in the API.

Would you be able to confirm whether it's already implemented or if we just need to be patient for a little while?

Thanks.

Jacques

Hi @JacquesGaudin 

At the moment I can't say when EC8 will be available via API. I'm sending your ask to person responsible for range of development in the next version. He will answer you soon but because of his days off, probably after New Year.

Best Regards

Thank you @gwizdzm for looking into this. It would be great to hear back from the person who's working on this. Much appreciated!
