BUG: Exported Thickness with Layers from scriptgenerator has wrong thickness_type

[MaximilianFranz]

Describe the bug Exporting an RFEM model of a CLT Thickness with 3 layers using the script generator yields an object like:

"thickness_layers_reference_table": [
                        {
                            "no": 1,
                            "row": {
                                "layer_no": 1,
                                "layer_type": "E_LAYER_TYPE_LAYER",
                                "thickness_type": 0,
                                "material": 1,
                                "thickness": 0.04,
                                "angle": 0.0,
                                "integration_points": 9,
                                "connection_with_other_topological_elements": False,
                                "specific_weight": 4200.0,
                                "weight": 168.0,
                            },
                        },
                        ...

where thickness_type is 0. Trying to run that back against the server yields an errors with "Ungültiger Objekttyp" for the thickness_type field. Changing it to "thickness_type": "1" solved the problem. I.e. using 1 indexing and string instead of number (may not need the string, but the 0 didn't work.

Not sure what the thickness_type references and if it is something I have misconfigured when trying to run the script against the server. I cannot find anything in the exporter script that would define a thickness_type to be referenced so maybe this should be exported as "1" in the first place?

Expected behavior Roundtrip should be possible

Will add the RFEM model soon

Hi @MaximilianFranz,

Thanks for reaching us out. After my investigation, you're right. thickness_type should be returned as 1 in the script generator. We started to working on it, I'll let you know asap when it's fixed 🚀

[MaximilianFranz]

In RFEM in the model it says under "Dicke" for the layer "Direkt" - so I am confused as to what is expected under thickness_type? Can you explain that?

We went back and used 0 now again and it worked to yield the "Direkt" but then we get a

Server raised fault: 'Objekt: Dicke Nr. 1\nAttribut: Dickentyp\nFehler: Ung\xc3\xbcltiger Objekttyp.'

error.

The thickness_type attribute have type OBJECT_INDEX and usually in Webservices operations it is converted to user_id. This user_id always starts from 1, so you cannot set it 0. It's a bug that it returns a value 0. We started to work on it to fix this issue already.
