BUG: SUDS.TypeNotFound: Type not found: 'line'

[Jeroen124]

I have tried to run API modifictions on python 3.11.3 and on 3.11.7 with all dependencies installed.

When trying to run my own code (Which ran with RSTAB api) I now get the following error:

  File "C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\suds\mx\literal.py", line 87, in start
    raise TypeNotFound(content.tag)
suds.TypeNotFound: Type not found: 'line'

I have tried running the simple cantilever example:

from RFEM.Calculate.meshSettings import GetModelInfo
from RFEM.Loads.nodalLoad import NodalLoad
from RFEM.LoadCasesAndCombinations.loadCase import LoadCase
from RFEM.LoadCasesAndCombinations.staticAnalysisSettings import StaticAnalysisSettings

baseName = os.path.basename(__file__)
dirName = os.path.dirname(__file__)
print('basename:    ', baseName)
print('dirname:     ', dirName)
sys.path.append(dirName + r'/../..')

    l = 3

    # Calculate_all()
    messages = CalculateSelectedCases([1])
    if len(messages) != 0:
        print("Calculation finished unsuccessfully")
        print(messages)
        # for message in messages:
        #     print("{0}\t{1}: {2} - {3} {4} {5}".format("Yes" if message.result else "No", message.message_type.ToString(), message.message, message.@object, message.current_value, message.input_field))
    else:
        print("Calculation finished successfully")

    # model status
    modelStatus = GetModelInfo()
    print("Model is calculated" if modelStatus.property_has_results else "Model is not calculated")
    print("Model contains printout report" if modelStatus.property_has_printout_report else "Model has not printout report")

    print("Node x coordinate " + str(node.coordinate_1))

    # ExportDetailsOfDesignToCSV(r"C:/WORK/TEMP/")

This resulted in the same error. I think it is a problem with the added optional line property of the member class?

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Version of WIN10 OS: [WIN 10 22H2]
• Version of RFEM6.05.0006
• Version of tool (Python 3.11.3 & 3.11.7)
• suds-py3==1.4.5.0

Hi @Jeroen124, this looks like problem with caching of WSDL files. We cache them in order to speed the whole process. It is updated when WSDL is older than 24h. Go to c:\Users...\AppData\Local\Temp\WSDL\ and delete all. If the issue persist, let me know. This usualy happens when user is switching between multiple versions of RFEM in one day or as you did if from RSTAB goes to RFEM. RSTAB is basically reducted version of RFEM so then it doesn't know objects like lines.

@OndraMichal This resolved it! Thanks!
