API: disable graphics updating when extracting results

API & Interfaces
,

In rfem 6, using API and c#, I read support reaction forces for each combination, using theforloop below.

When the code goes to the next combination number, the rfem graphical user interface (GUI) updates the tables, contour values and colors in the view and so on.

When the model is large and also has hundreds of combinations, the updating of the GUI is slow and the whole process becomes very slow and inefficient.

How can I disable the updating of the GUI when reading results from rfem model using API?


foreach (int coNro in combinationNumbers)
{
    model.get_results_for_nodes_support_forces(
    case_object_types.E_OBJECT_TYPE_LOAD_COMBINATION, 
    coNro,      
    object_Locations.ToArray());
}

Hello,
I’m sorry but there is no option to change that. Therefore we developed the Dlubal.API to increase the performance.

I’m happy to answer any question further available.

so dlubal.API is different from the 'API' I am using to connect to rfem 6, or am I missing something?

if it is different, does Dlubal.API read results without updating the GUI during the process of reading the results of different load combinations?

@thomas.guenthel could you please reply to my question?

I’m sorry for answering late. If I’m right then your code is from the older WebService&API interface. If so, then the major problem of the interface was not the update of the GUI but the low transfer rates. I did not notice any GUI updates during reading of the results in the new Dlubal.API and by the way it is much faster (approximately factor 10).
