Robot API: Number of calculation points

[Anonymous]

Dear all,

I'd like to modify the number of calculation points during a Steel design calculation in my API script. Is there a simple way to do this that does not require any work-arounds like using characteristic points?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Best regards,

Marcell

Hi @Anonymous,

Maybe this macro will help you to find how to do it

Hi @Romanich,

Thanks for your answer!

I have seen and used this macro before. Unfortunately this solution introduces characteristic points along the bar length and gets the utilization ratios in a for loop over these points .

As I said, I would prefer to avoid this work-around and introduce simply a number of calculation points in my API script.

I'm trying the following code:

Set RDMAllRes = RDmEngine.Results
Set RDmDetRes = RDMAllRes.Get(currentBar.Number)
Set RDmEffDef = RDmDetRes.EffDef
RDmEffDef.WriteParam I_DEDPT_POINTS_NUM, 10

But it doesn't quite do the trick.

Best regards,

Marcell

Hi @Anonymous

I think You should use IRDimCalcConf.NPointsNum

Hi @Rafal.Gaweda,

Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for. It is actually very well described in the Robot Steel API guide.

Best regards,
