Steamlit

Please note, the GUI is currently heavily limited in functionality and only serves to showcase the possibilities with the ak_sap module.

The base ak_sap does not comes pre-compiled with the streamlit package.

You will need to use the --extra gui command during install to add the streamlit package.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/rpakishore/ak_sap.git && cd ak_sap
pip install uv
uv venv && uv pip install -r pyproject.toml --extra gui

Usage

• Make sure the SAP Model you want to control is open. (Current version of gui does not support creating new SAP files)

uv run streamlit run Start_Here.py

• Open up the SAP2000 model of your choice and click Attach to Model

Steps:

1. Run the Analysis on SAP2000
2. Select the frame and attached support point for export from the 3D model.
3. Click the Extract Values button in browser.
4. Select the interested load combinations and cases for export.
5. Orient the Axis, by assigning X, Y, Z axis of Hilti to axis 1(Red), 2 (Green) and 3(Blue) of SAP.
6. Optionally, upload an exisitng .pe file to import default values.
7. Click the Export .pe file button.
8. The exported file will be of format "SAP filename-Selected Node #-Selected Section Shape-MMDD_HHMM.pe"

To Implement:

• Incorporate the section profile into the .pe file.
• Replace the manual deletion of existing loadcase with inbuilt delete_existing method of Hilti-Profis Class in version 0.0.4.
• Defer data generation until the click of download button (Part of Streamlit roadmap for May-July 2024).
