Get material propertise by material name #233

Closed kniazmajowiec closed 7 months ago

kniazmajowiec commented 1 year ago

I am working on a plug-in for Grasshopper to generate Idea StatiCa RCS models. I would like user to generate concrete or rebar materials just by referring to its name, instead of providing all strength characteristic.

I have found that while specifying material I can use LoadFromLibrary variable; however, it does not seem to work. In my example, I am trying to get Eurocode Concrete Class C12/15; however, in IOM xml I get Material with this name and all characteristics set to zero.

Firstly, I set settings for european (even though, they are default): image

Secondly, I am trying to set the material by name and LoadFromLibrary to true: image

Finally, I am assigning this material to cross-section: image

As a result I got this in the xml file with IOM: image

I understand that this issue is similar to idea-statica/iom-examples#57 I am using Idea StatiCa version 22.1.

I would be grateful if you could tell me what shall I do to make it work

Hi @kniazmajowiec,

Thank you for your issue. This is a known problem with Concrete/Reinforcement materials when importing to RCS. We are currently in the process of fixing this.

We will provide an update when working.

Kind Regards Nathan

This error is now resolved in v23.1. A new RCS API has also been developed. https://developer.ideastatica.com/docs/api/rcs/rcs_api_getting_started.html?tabs=dotnet
