Cross-sectional optimization through steel design via Dlubal API

Good day!

I would like to use the cross-section optimization of the steel design module of RFEM 6 via the Dlubal API.

grafik

The tooltip suggests that this property can be set directly during the cross-section creation via addon_object_replacement. Unfortunately, I cannot find any documentation on this and therefore suspect that it is not yet available.

I would appreciate any information.

Thank you very much!

Hi jbo-puls,

the optimization has not yet been implemented as you suspected. But via the API you can easily run a loop and build your own "optimization". I think you can quickly achieve the desired result with little effort.

I have added you to the list of requesters for this feature in the API, I hope this is of interest to you. Should there be any news on this topic, we will spread them through the known channels.

Best regards

Good day Mr. Milrath,

Thank you very much for the response.
You are absolutely right, I just hoped to have it a bit easier and require fewer requests :slight_smile:

And also many thanks for adding me to the list of requesters.

Best regards, jbo-puls
