Retrieve Design

[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

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

Try:

Code: [Select]

oGroup.RetrieveDesign(oGroupDesign, True, False)

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.

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,

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.
