Why can't I push Structural datas to Sap2000 using Push component?

[bearlove163]

I have used SAP2000Adapter to communicate with Sap2000. I can use Execute components to operations Sap2000 such as New and RUN order, but I cannot enter data from GH into Sap2000using Push component.
Can you tell me how I can import data into Sap2000.
Thank you.

Error information:“1. This component failed to run properly.

Hi @bearlove163 , welcome to BHoM!

Would you be able to translate the error message for us? I've run it through Google Translate and it says Return parameter has invalid type which doesn't match any errors in BHoM that I can find, so I'm wondering if the translation is a little off.

Would you be able to provide a sample script as well? @peterjamesnugent probably god to get you involved on this as you're more likely to know about SAP2000 than I am?

I use SapAdapte component link with sap2000 successfully, and I can transfer bars that adopt default sectionProperty into Sap2000 using Push component.

However I can't transfer bars into Sap2000 using Push component when parameter of sectionProperty in bar component is used custom sectionProperty.

Could you tell me how I can deal with above error?

Hi @bearlove163, SAP2000 does not appear to implement FreeformProfiles:
https://github.com/BHoM/SAP2000_Toolkit/blob/develop/SAP2000_Adapter/CRUD/Create/Section.cs

If you're familiar with SAP2000 API, would you be interested in adding this functionality?

Hi @bearlove163, it depends on what objects you are trying to push. As a first pass, it may be worth looking at the Create methods available within the SAP2000_Toolkit: https://github.com/BHoM/SAP2000_Toolkit/tree/develop/SAP2000_Adapter/CRUD/Create
