Ambiguous properties for the same concept

API & Interfaces

Situation:

The GUI shows that the object surface_load has one property with values shown in the drop-down menu in the image.

Problem:
However, the API says that surface_load has two ambiguously-similar properties for the same concept.

Questions:

  1. which one of the API properties is related to that in the GUI?
  2. if one is the correct one, what is the other one?

Hi PSA001,

if you're talking about e. g. the *LOAD_DISTRIBUTION_UNIFORM and the LOAD_DISTRIBUTION_UNIFORM they are the same just marked as a favorite.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your reply.

No, I'm not talking about labels inside the same enum object. I'm talking about two seperate enum objects, as seen in the image:

  1. surface_load_load_distribution
  2. surface_load_distribution

Hi PSA001,

ah, not I got it. However, there is no explanation for this behavior, it seems to be an issue. To figure out which one is working, just give it a try, and then use the one version that is working for you. Since the API (SAOP) is in maintanance mode only, we will not make any changes that could break your code here.
