Programming with RFEM 6 and Python | 005 Example | Cantilever

Welcome back to the fifth video of the "Programming with RFEM 6 and Python" series. With the necessary basic knowledge under control, we are able to perform a few simple examples. First, we model a cantilever with a nodal load.

can we simulat wind flow in urban geometry with this model?

Hello,
This example shown works for me only for new models.
When I work with an existing model, I get an error message: "...in <module> Model(False)"
Only this is working: Model(False, model_name="MyModel").
Setting a model_name is not optional for me. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to start a new model and change the base standards (i.e., change from EN 1990 to ASCE 7)?

I get errors with the load cases due to the dead load not being a "permanent" action. I think I can avoid this by entering the load cases using "LoadCase.StaticAnalysis" but I was wondering if I was missing something. Thanks!

Is there a way to change the units programmatically from m, kN to mm and N? Also can i have the Z-axis pointing upwards?

[nascentnaga]

import * is kind of sketchy sometimes

are there alternatives or would I have to do something like import RFEM as rfem

and then dot notation hell to get all the elements.
