Virtual bar can not be created

[Poja]

Hi!

Is it possible to:

1. Control the Settings (e.g. Display label size etc…)
2. Construct Virtual bars

Via grasshopper?

Hi @Poja

1. No control of the settings currently. Are those important for your workflow?

2. Unfortunately, we do not have access to Virtual bars but we will open a ticket to make them happen. They are really helpful

Hi Marco!

Since there is no FEM-Design visualization in Rhino, I use the live-link to verify that loads, boundary conditions, thicknesses, etc… are correctly applied.
That makes visualizing, e.g. load labels very helpful and powerful.

But should I maybe use the documentation function instead? Is it possible to control for instance visualizing load labels with that?

For virtual bar, aside deciding the line and elements to include, deciding the calculation density from GH would also be great!

By the way the new API version works like a clock

The documentation does not seem to remember label size

SaveAsDefault related to settings is not working?

@Poja

I have just opened a ticket for our developers. If we are lucky, we can have it solved for end of november.
Otherwise, it will be early 2025.

I will be in touch anyway when it is done!

Virtual bar can not be created through the API

[Poja]

This level of support is fantastic, I love it!

I whish the non-API FEM-Design support was as good. At least their forum is not good at all.

That actually did help,
Thank you so much!

Ehi @Poja

Virtual bar will be release with FEM-Design 24.
I will send you a message when it will be publicly available

[Poja]

That is amazing !
This is a huge deal, cannot wait!
