Generate a PDF report

What the script does

generate-report.py opens the sample project ../projects/HSS_norm_cond.ideaCon, calculates it, and saves a PDF report of the first connection.

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.calculation.calculate(...) — run the CBFEM analysis.
4. api_client.report.generate_pdf(project_id, connection_id) — generate the report and write the returned bytes to output.pdf.

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.

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

   python generate-report.py
