Computer Aided Design Environment for Composites (CADEC) 12.0.4913.18168

CADEC : Help : API

Try the new CADEC Web Service!

This feature allows you to use your CADEC objects in other platforms such as Abaqus® , Matlab®, Python, .NET, Mathematica®, etc.

This interface is experimental, so any feedback is appreciated.

Connect using Abaqus

1. Download PySimpleSOAP
2. Open client.py, change line 103, from this

   self.http = Http(timeout=TIMEOUT, cacert=cacert, proxy=proxy, sessions=sessions)
   

   to this:

   self.http = Http(cacert=cacert, proxy=proxy, sessions=sessions)
   

3. Save client.py
4. Copy pysimplesoap folder to C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\[Abaqus Version]\Python\Lib\
5. Start Abaqus CAE
6. Run this code in the prompt

from pysimplesoap.client import SoapClient
client = SoapClient(wsdl="http://www.cadec-online.com/API.asmx?WSDL",trace=False, sessions=True)
client.Login("UserName", "Password")
client.Laminates()

Connect using C#

1. Create a Console application
2. In Solution Explorer, References, Add Service Reference
3. Click in Advanced...
4. Click in Add Web Reference...
5. in URL type http://www.cadec-online.com/API.asmx
6. in Web Reference Name type CADEC
7. Type this code

CADEC.API MyCadec = new CADEC.API();
MyCadec.CookieContainer = new System.Net.CookieContainer();
if (MyCadec.Login("username", "password"))
{

    Console.WriteLine("LaminaId Lamina Name");
    foreach (String[] Lamina in MyCadec.Laminae())
    {
        Console.WriteLine(Lamina[0] + " " + Lamina[1]);
    }
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Unable to login");
}

Console.ReadLine();

Connect Using Matlab

1. Write callSoapService, select the word, right click, Open
2. Write global cookie; just bellow the documentation
3. Write this below %Set the appropriate HTTP parameters.

   if (~isempty(cookie))
       httpConn.setRequestProperty('Cookie', concat(concat(cookie.Name,'='),cookie.Value))
   end

4. Write this bellow byteArrayOutputStream.close;

   i=0;
   while true
   	headerField = httpConn.getHeaderField(i);
   	if (headerField ~= '')
   		if (strcmp(httpConn.getHeaderFieldKey(i), 'Set-Cookie'))
   			headerField = headerField.substring(0,headerField.indexOf(';'));
   			cookie.Name = headerField.substring(0, headerField.indexOf('='));
   			cookie.Value = headerField.substring(headerField.indexOf('=') + 1, headerField.length());
   		end
   	else
   		break
   	end
   	i = i+1;
   end
   

5. Save callSoapService
6. Write this in the prompt

   createClassFromWsdl('http://www.cadec-online.com/API.asmx?WSDL')
   obj = API
   Login(obj, 'username', 'password')
   Laminae(obj)
   

Connect Using Mathematica

1. Run this code

InstallService["http://www.cadec-online.com/API.asmx?WSDL"];
Login["user", "password"];
Fiber[Fibers[][[1, 1]]]
Logout[];
