BUG: Can't Update Global Parameter when Results are available

[gvandewiel86]

Describe the bug Can't Update Global Parameter when Results are available

Expected behavior When updating the parameter value manually we first get prompted that all results will be deleted when changing this value. When using the GlobalParameter.AddParameter function we don't get prompted (obviously) but we are also not able to forcibly update the Parameter value.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Version of RFEM6 = 6.04.0002
• Version of tool = 1.18.0

Hello, thank you for reaching out to us. Could you please upload your script, where this error occurs? It would help us identify the source of error. I tried to foricbly update GlobalParameter by rewriting it again with AddParameter when there were Results available and ended up with succesful update of parameter (see the code below).

    GlobalParameter.AddParameter(
                                 no= 1,
                                 name= 'Test_1',
                                 symbol= 'Test_1',
                                 unit_group= GlobalParameterUnitGroup.LENGTH,
                                 definition_type= GlobalParameterDefinitionType.DEFINITION_TYPE_FORMULA,
                                 definition_parameter= ['1+1'],  # Will be changed
                                 comment= 'Comment_1')
    Model.clientModel.service.calculate_all(False)
    GlobalParameter.AddParameter(
                                 no= 1,
                                 name= 'Test_1',
                                 symbol= 'Test_1',
                                 unit_group= GlobalParameterUnitGroup.LENGTH,
                                 definition_type= GlobalParameterDefinitionType.DEFINITION_TYPE_FORMULA,
                                 definition_parameter= ['4+1'], # Changed here
                                 comment= 'Comment_1')

Hi Jan,

thanks for the script i will check your script on our model and will also further investigate what happens in our script. From a quick check it seems that the parameter (a Strain) is updated but the results of the particular load cases / combinations using the parameter are not invalidated hence a a recalculation of the load combination does not occurs.

Current work around is to remove the results and hence forcing a recalculation of the model.

The script is a combination of VBA and Python and will try to grab the relevant parts and upload these as soon as possible.
