Beam Design Using American Standards about rfem_python_client HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello @YannickVetter,
thank you for the report. It seems that there is now function to set standard for Load Wizards. I'll report to colleagues and hopefully have WS function ASAP.

Hello @YannickVetter,

Thanks for your question! :) Kindly find some responses to each part below:

Units from metric to imperial

Changing the units from metric to imperial in WebServices is unfortunately not available at this stage. A potential workaround in the interim would be to manually create a model with the desired units, save it, and then access a saved model and continue with your code. i.e. Model(False) as opposed to Model(True).

Standard for combination wizard

I believe the code 6579 may be more applicable for ASCE 7 (for wood) in your case?

In terms of the available action categories

Available action categories for the ASCE 7 ( NATIONAL_ANNEX_AND_EDITION_ASCE_7_WOOD_2022, Code: 6579):

• ACTION_CATEGORY_DEAD_LOAD_D
• ACTION_CATEGORY_WEIGHT_OF_ICE_DI
• ACTION_CATEGORY_EARTHQUAKE_LOAD_VERTICAL_EV
• ACTION_CATEGORY_EFFECTS_OF_HORIZONTAL_EARTHQUAKE_FORCES_QE
• ACTION_CATEGORY_LOAD_DUE_TO_FLUIDS_WITH_WELL_DEFINED_PRESSURES_AND_MAXIMUM_HEIGHTS_F
• ACTION_CATEGORY_FLOOD_LOAD_FA
• ACTION_CATEGORY_LOAD_DUE_TO_LATERAL_EARTH_PRESSURE_GROUND_WATER_PRESSURE_H
• ACTION_CATEGORY_LOAD_DUE_TO_LATERAL_EARTH_PRESSURE_OR_PRESSURE_OF_BULK_MATERIALS_HEB
• ACTION_CATEGORY_LOAD_DUE_TO_GROUND_WATER_PRESSURE_HW
• ACTION_CATEGORY_LIVE_LOAD_L
• ACTION_CATEGORY_ROOF_LIVE_LOAD_LR
• ACTION_CATEGORY_NOTIONAL_LOAD_FOR_STRUCTURAL_INTEGRITY_N
• ACTION_CATEGORY_RAIN_LOAD_R
• ACTION_CATEGORY_SNOW_LOAD_S
• ACTION_CATEGORY_SELF_STRAINING_FORCE_T
• ACTION_CATEGORY_WIND_LOAD_W
• ACTION_CATEGORY_WIND_ON_ICE_DETERMINED_IN_ACCORDANCE_WITH_SECTION_10_WI
• ACTION_CATEGORY_TORNADO_LOAD_WT
• ACTION_CATEGORY_LOAD_ARISING_FROM_EXTRAORDINARY_EVENT_AK
• ACTION_CATEGORY_NONE_NONE

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will implement a function, which returns a list of available action categories for a selected standard. You will find this under load cases and combinations library. I will let you know once this has been implemented in main :)
