Python client (high-level functions) for RFEM 6 using Web Services (WS), SOAP and WSDL. Available Python SOAP pkgs can be found on wiki.python.org.
This Python project is focused on opening RFEM 6 to all of our customers, enabling them to interact with RFEM 6 on a much higher level. If you are looking for a tool to help you solve parametric models or optimization tasks, you have come to the right place. This community serves as a support portal and base for all of your future projects. The goal is to create an easily expandable Python library, which communicates instructions to RFEM 6 through WebServices (WS). WS enables access to RFEM 6 either via a local instance or a remote internet connection.
As you may have already heard, brand new Web Services are in the works!
- Using gRPC will ensure highest performance without compromise. First tests show 15x faster execution compared to current WS. According to source gRPC shows 7 to 10 times better performance than REST(GraphQL).
- The new common results interface will ensure that users can effectively filter all results to get only the data they want.
- All code can be tested and prototyped in the console as the syntax will be the same.
: folder following the structure of RFEM 6 navigator containing individual types of objects
: runs after window and initializes suds.Client by connecting to
http://localhost:8081/wsdland activating model in RFEM. It also envelops essential global functions.: definition of enumerations
Dependency check is implemented inside dependencies.py with option to install during execution.
-
RFEM 6 application. Client is always compatible with the latest version.
-
🌀 Clone this repository (if you have GitHub account) or download actual release
-
Open RFEM 6 application
-
☑️ Check if there are no opened dialogues in RFEM and server port range under Options-Web Services corresponds to the one set in initModel
-
🏃 Run your script. Inspirations can be found in Examples or UnitTests.
The scripts are intended to be used as templates or examples. Also, they can be used for testing of backward compatibility.
Collection of scripts used to support further development.
The easiest way to enjoy the Client is to install current RFEM package directly to your Python via pip install RFEM. Especially if no code changes are required.
