Import XML#

In this example we will demonstrate how to:

Import data from an XML file into the RFEM model.
Get a list of object IDs in the model after the import.
Extract and print the type and ID for each object.

import os
from dlubal.api import rfem, common

# Connect to the RFEM application
with rfem.Application() as rfem_app:

    # Reset RFEM by closing models, creating a new one, and clearing all objects
    rfem_app.close_all_models(save_changes=False)
    rfem_app.create_model(name='xml_structure')
    rfem_app.delete_all_objects()

    # Step 1: Import IFC model from the file
    xml_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'src', 'xml_structure.xml')

    rfem_app.import_from(
        filepath=xml_path,
        import_attributes=common.import_export.XmlImportAttributes()
    )

    # Step 2: Get object ID list
    object_id_list = rfem_app.get_object_id_list()

    # Iterate through object IDs and print their types and IDs
    for obj in object_id_list.object_id:

        object_id = obj.no
        object_type = obj.object_type

        print(f"{rfem.ObjectType.Name(object_type)}: {object_id}")

using Rfem = Dlubal.Api.Rfem;
using Common = Dlubal.Api.Common;
using Google.Protobuf.WellKnownTypes;

ApplicationRfem? RfemApp = null;

try
{
    RfemApp = new ApplicationRfem();

    await RfemApp.create_model(name: "import_from_xml");

    // Step 1: Import XML model from the file
    string ifcFilePath = Path.GetFullPath("xml_structure.xml");
    await RfemApp.import_from(
        filepath: ifcFilePath,
        importAttributes: Any.Pack(new Common.ImportExport.XmlImportAttributes())
    );

    // Step 2: Get object ID list
    var objectIdList = await RfemApp.get_object_id_list();

    // Iterate through the object IDs
    foreach (var obj in objectIdList.ObjectId)
    {
        var objectId = obj.No;
        var objectType = obj.ObjectType;
        Console.WriteLine($"{objectType}: {objectId}");
    }

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Message}");
}
finally
{
    if (RfemApp != null) await RfemApp.close_connection();
}
