Connecting to a live instance of Idea StatiCa Connection #20

Closed EricDuongED closed 4 years ago

EricDuongED commented 4 years ago

Is there a way to connect to a live instance of Idea StatiCa Connection and simply use code from the documentation to automate tasks? For example, could I open Idea StatiCa, write a program that attaches to the instance of the program, create a simple connection model, run the analysis and extract the results into an excel file?

I'm more familiar with the SAP2000/ETABS API and with that API, you can do exactly what I described above. However, when I go through some of the examples that are laid out in the GitHubs, it seems like you can only export a model as opposed to being able to work on it in real time.

You can not to attach an existing process but you can create a new one and control it.
