When I test the CreateModelObject the script could: 1. Connect to Tekla successfully 2. Create Levels and Grids correctly but then begin the throw excepetion:

Could you help me understand why it happens? Thank you.

After printing out in console the available material values and setting the value from the available list, the issue was resolved. It is possible that the issue was related to the default material settings for the US and UK. However, in order to create the concrete beam, I had to comment out lines 323 and 324. I am uncertain if this will affect the analysis or not, but I hope that in the future, there will be a manual available to show the intended function and available values for setting the material.

Hi

As you have identified, setting the values of properties is dependent on the design code of the model. Those two properties you identified as needing to be commented out are not used for US models, and therefore are not needed for your code.

In all cases, properties would take their default values if not explicitly set by the code using the API.

We will take your feedback that you would like some clearer guidance on how to use the setting of the material, and we will consider how to make the available values more clear.

Thanks,
Matt
