Great!

Hello there, Python programming is very useful but the problem in corporate computers is that that you cannot install libraries like pandas, xlwings etc because it needs admin to install it. Without the excel libraries for python, I cannot take advantage of this feature. Is there any way to install libraries without the admin password? Or is there any way to do automation directly between excel and RFEM like the RF-COM back in RFEM version 5? I've been using the RF-COM and I find it useful in creating my models and getting the results back to excel. What alternatives do you have now? I know you have Java, C#, or python. Python is the easiest to learn but the problem is as I mentioned above. Thanks.

Hi, @user-zl3br2oc8h! Our Webservice in Python, C# or JavaScript can be used with Visual Studio Code. VS Code offers two different types of setup, with the user setup you don't need admin rights to install packages as their location will be under you local AppData. You can find more information about it under the following link: code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/windows For the Python console all packages are automatically installed on the system at the moment which requires admin rights. We will consider options to enable the usage of external libraries without admin rights in the Python Console and for In-App-Scripting for the future. Nevertheless you can already use our API from outside RFEM with VS code in user setup.

Hello What's the benefits of converting the model to a python script ?

[@DlubalEN]

Hi, @clawdog7758! Converting the model to a Python script can help you getting to know the syntax of the Python In-App Scripting. Additionally you can use it to adapt the exported script in order to create your own script that you can use in the Script Manager.
