Steel Design API, how to get warning and error messages via API?

[Anonymous]

I would like to get warning messages of steel design module via API. How can I do it, if it is possible?

I'm developing API script that will run steel verification for all selected members and generate calculation report of them to Excel. It would be nice to get also warnings and errors that might occur during verification.

These messages are not supported in API.

Ok. Thanks for quick reply!

Is there any other possibility to find out via API if steel member verification is not performed correctly?

Everything else is working nice in my script, but I would like to add some kind of note if verification has not performed correctly.

Like checking if design ratio is below set limit (e.g. 1 ) and slenderness lower then declared maximal value?

My script will get ratio, slenderness, buckling lengths, interal forces, deflections etc. Thus I can easely see if ratio exceeds 1 or member is too slender.

What I cannot see is these warning messages like:

• wall thickness is less than 3 mm
• web of I-beam is so slender that detailed analysis is needed (shear buckling)
• Section belongs to cross section class 4

When I get results from Robot to Excel and cant see these warning, it is possible that some ratios are not correct beacuse of section class 4 or thin walled member etc.

Is there any other method than these messages to find out if something is wrong in verification?

As I wrote this kind of messages are currently not supported by API.
