Retrieve Design

(1/1)

trelau:
I'm trying to use the "RetrieveDesign" command within MATLAB and it says that the design cannot be found, even though I created a group design object successfully. Below are my commands,

oGroupDesign = oGroup.GlobalDesigns.Item('z-panels') --> this successfully creates a group design object with correct group design  numbers and name

oGroup.RetrieveDesign(oGroupDesign) --> this says the design cannot be found

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Trevor

Ryan:
Perhaps there is something wrong with passing the optional arguments to the RetrieveDesign() method.

Try:


--- Code: ---oGroup.RetrieveDesign(oGroupDesign, True, False)
--- End code ---

trelau:
If I try passing the optional arguments I get the following error in MATLAB,

>>oGroup.RetrieveDesign(oGroupDesign, 'True', 'False')

"??? No method 'RetrieveDesign' with matching signature found for class
'Interface.HyperSizer_Advanced_Structural_Analysis_Library,_v6.2.Group."

An engineer from NASA, who is doing the same thing except in VB, sent me his code and I have the same issues. Is there something on the HyperSizer end that I may not have setup right?

Thanks for the help.

trelau:
Any chance this could be a bug in my version of HyperSizer (v6.2.28)? I've had this version for a while through our lab, but your website said v6.2 was released in May of 2012. I'm not sure what else to do except maybe re-install HyperSizer.

Thanks,
Trevor

In case anyone comes across this same problem, here is a response from Ryan that solved the problem in VBA.

"RetrieveDesign returns a boolean (true = success). Make sure you set the return value else matlab won't recognize the function (interface).

blnResult = oGroup.RetrieveDesign(oDesign, True, False)

I have confirmed that it works in VBA for global designs with the uniaxial family."

It still doesn't work it MATLAB, but it seems to have fixed the issues in VBA.
