Save file as copy

API & Interfaces

Hello everyone,

is it possible to programmatically save a model as a copy in a similar way as in GUI?

Save as Window
Save as Window477×393 25 KB

For example:

    with Application(api_key_value=api_key, port='9000') as RFEM:
        RFEM.open_model(path=r"D:\template.rf6")
        # more work ...
        RFEM.save_model(path=r"D:\template_copy.rf6")
        # another processing ...

This will open my template model and save it under different name. The original template is closed and the copy is kept open and active. But I need to continue processing the original template file and make more changes to it. The copy shouldn't be modified further; it is like a snapshot.
When doing it through GUI, it keeps the original file active, not the saved one. Also, in the legacy API, it was possible to save it in this way.

My RFEM6 version: 6.14.0005

Could you help me to overcome this issue?

Hi janel-cz,

Unfortunately, this function is not yet available in RFEM 6. It has already been considered during development, and we evaluate to make it available in RFEM 6 in the future. However, I cannot provide a timeline for its implementation.

You can find an overview of planned features in the development section of the Extranet:

Best regards
