I'm working through a building that is fairly atypical in terms of RAM SS capabilities. Due to the nature of the project, I've had to use DA to run through some custom load cases for a previous phase, with pretty good success. These previous scripts relied mostly on the getting and updating point load and line load values through the respective property set interfaces.
My current goal is to output enough beam information to be able to write a beam to RAM Elements. These beams will be continuous and therefore cannot realistically be modeled in Structural Systems (estimation of inflection points will change with the various load cases listed above). It seems that the "IGravityLoads1" interface should give me a good idea of the location and magnitude of the loading on these beams of interest. My attempts at working with this interface have not proved successful yet, so I'm just wondering if the "original" interfaces require any different syntax?
Any help on your end would be greatly appreciated! Once I get the gravity loads squared away, I should be able to figure out the best way to link all the geometric information as well to pass to Elements.
Thanks,
