[QUESTION] Material & Standard for BoltGrid object

[jorgebslu]

Hi,

OpenModel object has container lists for MatSteel, MatConcrete, MatPrestressSteel, MatReinforcement but it does not have a property like List<MaterialBoltGrade>.

Material class: https://idea-statica.github.io/iom/iom-api/latest/html/T_IdeaRS_OpenModel_Material_Material.htm

I need to create an instance of BoltGrid and a Material property is required. The help documentation says The material of the bolt assembly .

If I cannot add to OpenModel an instance of MaterialBoltGrade, what is the value I have to provide to the BoltGrid.Material property ?

The example at SteelFrameExample.cs provides "8.8" but it is not clear for a complex example to determine it from a user defined bolt assembly.

I would also appreciate further help on BoltGrid.Standard property. Concerning the relation of that property with the properties of OpenModel.

Best regards

IOM model was originally intended for import the model from FEA applications - there are no bolts. If you want to get a list of bolt assemblies or add a new one - you can use methods

GetBoltAssembliesInProject AddBoltAssembly

see the example :

https://idea-statica.github.io/iom-examples/iom-steel-connections/cbfem-for-all.html

on the other hand you can import structures from CAD applications where users can define geometries of connections see

https://github.com/idea-statica/ccm-examples/blob/release-v20.1/FEAppExample_1/CAD_Model_Examples/Column-On-BasePlate.xml

or

https://github.com/idea-statica/ccm-examples/blob/release-v20.1/FEAppExample_1/CAD_Model_Examples/Column-CHS-EndPlates.xml

they show how to import FEA model as well as connections
