I have made some new observation.
If I used SetDesignSection(framename,section_type,False,0) in succession (e.g. in a loop)
it always changed all the framename that have been changed before.
so if I change beam 82,83,84. This three beam will follow the frame that 84 used.
I don't know why does...
I have used 0 and every beam still changes as seen from my code.
Maybe I'm supposed to use enumeration of somekind (?)
Anyway it does not change the outcome using int (0,1,2).
Hi, I have been experimenting with optimizing truss using metaheuristic algorithm using python.
I have been able to open ETABS, assign all frame member with the available option using and index, running the model, and extracting the result.
However, I encountered some unintended result. When I...
