In Grasshopper, it is possible to change the Config. settings for FEM-Design. However, I would also like to change some of the other settings for concrete design. I was wondering if it is possible to create a component, or different components that do the following:
Change the Shear Control Region from Grasshopper
Change/set the crack width limit from Grasshopper
Set Calculation Parameters - like turning off “Consider detailing rules by EN 1992-1-1: 9.3.1.1, 9.6.2, 9.6.3” (this is practical in some cases when you want to see utilization compared to forces and not minimum reinforcement)
Now, every time I run the GH-script, I need to manually set these properties so it would be very helpful to be able to control these from the GH-script
I just found out that it is already possible for C#. I will try to send you a custom script that you can use ASAP.
We have planned the implementation with a proper Grasshopper component for the next release.
Have you tried in modifying the cfg.xml that we provide within the api toolbox? You can quickly modify the text file and you will see the new setting applied.
What you are asking for should be: fCompressed and fMinReinf. The methodology is not super simple but we are working on it
