Fatigue analysis calculation

What the script does

calc-fatigue-1.py opens the sample project ../projects/fatigue-check.ideaCon, runs a stress/strain CBFEM analysis on its first connection, then switches the connection's analysis type to fatigue and recalculates.

Steps performed (real method names from the script):

1. Attach to a running Connection API service via ConnectionApiServiceAttacher("http://localhost:5000").create_api_client().
2. api_client.project.open_project_from_filepath(project_file_path) — open the .ideaCon project.
3. api_client.project.get_project_data(...) and api_client.connection.get_connections(...) — print project data and pick the first connection.
4. api_client.calculation.calculate(...) — run the stress/strain analysis; print the brief results, then api_client.calculation.get_results(...) for detailed results.
5. Set connection1.analysis_type = "fatigues" and apply it with api_client.connection.update_connection(...) (the analysis type is taken from the connection).
6. api_client.calculation.calculate(...) again — now runs the fatigue analysis; print brief results, api_client.calculation.get_results(...) detailed results, and api_client.calculation.get_raw_json_results(...) raw JSON results.

How to run

1. Install the client package (the package version must match your installed IDEA StatiCa version):

   pip install ideastatica-connection-api
   

2. Start the Connection API service from your IDEA StatiCa installation folder (adjust to your installed version):

   "C:\Program Files\IDEA StatiCa\StatiCa 26.0\IdeaStatiCa.ConnectionRestApi.exe"
   

   The service listens on port 5000 by default, which is the baseUrl the script expects. Alternatively, start the service from Python with ConnectionApiServiceRunner (see the calculate_project_using_runner example).

3. Run the script from this folder (it locates the sample project via the relative path ../projects):

   python calc-fatigue-1.py
