Description of the limitation and why it is relevant to address
As a developer I want to create Scia models using the thin walled geometry so that the user can create usable models.
Using this function
Creates this warning
Because of the form type is set as thick walled, which is only usable for concrete.
I think this is relevant for the VIKTOR platform because Viktor is the only platform offering SCIA integration adn further expanding it will improve user experience and differntiates itself further in the market
Submitter proposed design (optional)
Acces cross section library like materials functions
Current workarounds
None
Hi,
Your first screenshot shows create_circular_cross_section while the second screenshot shows a tube. Did you use create_circular_hollow_cross_section instead?
Not sure if this works, but we also support create_library_cross_section, in which you could pass a CIRCULAR_HOLLOW section.
Thank you, that does work. But it is harder to parameterise as you need the exact name of the profile in SCIA and you are limited to those library profiles. For steel members, thin-walled cross-sections are used.
I think right now only thick-walled cross-sections can be created with the sdk. Also being able to create these thin-walled geometries would be really helpful.
