Robot Component Manager (API)

[jmmarin]

Hi all.

I would like to know how to call and manipulate objects created in a model. In particular, I would like to create a footing (for instance) and call to this object using Excel VBA in order to change the properties etc...

I know the code for calling to Robot elements (nodes, bars, loads, etc...) but I have never used the RC component manager (footings, columns, beams, etc...).  Should I load any additional reference in Excel?

Dim robApp As RobotApplication
Set robApp = New RobotApplication

Dim robCim As RobotProjectComponentMngr
Set robCim = robApp.Project.ComponentMngr

.... ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply!

Do I need to load reference "Robot Concrete Footings" or just RobotOM?.

Regards!

hi @jmmarin 

First run the example code with RobotOM.

Yes, it works. I have access to the object.
