Robot Object Model

When modeling a structure, one uses a certain set of concepts that facilitate the
process of defining and analyzing the structure. Here belong node, bar, load case and
many others. While working in Robot, one encounters such concepts as project –
represented by the RTD file, graphical viewers and tables – presenting different
aspects of data describing a structure, as well as many other abstractions. In order to
make it possible to use the above-mentioned concepts at the level of a programming
language, they have been formalized and defined according to COM standards.
Program members and data types used to define structures are described in Robot
Object Model by means of appropriate interfaces. An interface is understood to mean
a set of data, mutually linked in a logical manner, and a set of operations that can be
performed on the data. The data are called attributes or members, and operations that
can be performed are called functions or methods of the interface. The set of interface
functions defines its functionality. Each interface has got a unique name. For
instance, a node of a structure is represented by means of the IRobotNode interface.
Among the data of the interface one finds, among others, three real numbers
corresponding to node coordinates. In order to take advantage of the functionality of
a given interface, one should create an object that realizes the interface. The manner
of creating an object depends on the currently used programming language. In Visual
Basic, for instance, a new object is created by means of the New operator or
CreateObject function.
Additionally, there is a certain interface type that describes the set of constant values
or identifiers. Such interface represents enumeration type. The IRobotProjectType
interface is a good example here. Identifiers referring to different types of projects
available in Robot are its members. In order to use a member of such an interface, it
suffices to provide its name. There is no necessity to create an object to realize it.
Robot Object Model is a set of such interfaces. It is contained in the robotom.tlb file
in the standard binary format, so that interfaces available in the model could be
recognized by the compilers of programming languages and by the system software.
The TLB standard extension comes from the Type Library name, as the interface is
often, especially at the level of a programming language, identified with data type.
Therefore, one can refer to an object realizing the interface called InterfaceName by
calling it an object of the InterfaceName type.
Naming conventions
All names begin with a capital letter. If a name consists of more than one word, each
name element begins with a capital letter.
Additionally, an interface name begins with the IRobot prefix, but for interfaces
associated with a specialized module the prefix coresponds to the module name (eg
IRJoint for interfaces defining the connection module of Robot). The convention has
been adopted to minimize the possibility of conflicting names in programming
languages that cannot use many independent name spaces.
The names of members of enumeration interface consist, in turn, of capital letters,
and particular segments are separated by the underline sign ("_"). Additionally, each
name begins with I_FLIN_, where FLIN refers to the first letters of interface name,
with the prefix omitted. For instance, names of all elements of IRobotProjectType
interface begin with the I_PT_ prefix (e.g. I_PT_FRAME_2D). Such convention
facilitates the creation of unique names. The uniqueness of names of members of
Strona 20
enumeration interfaces is necessary, for they are often interpreted in programming

languages as global constants that should have unique names.
Units
All functions of Robot Object Model use the standard SI units, independently of
the current settings in Robot options.

attributes and operations is described formally by means of the appropriate interface.

For instance, attributes and complete functionality of a structure node is described by
the RobotNode interface. The object type determines univocally how it is possible to
work with the object in question, and it defines the access interface for object
attributes and functionalities.
Uniform access to structure components

In order to unify access mode to different structure components, the following two
notions have been defined: Object (RobotDataObject) and Object Server
(RobotDataObjectServer). An Object represents any structure component. The Object
Server manages all objects of the same type. For instance, a structure node is
represented in the Robot Object Model s an object of the RobotNode type, and all
nodes are managed (created, made accessible, deleted) by the RobotNodeServer type.
IRobotDataObject
RobotDataObject defines a common interface for structure components. Each
structure component has its own user-defined number that is unique among all the
components of the same type. The user may use the number to identify objects. There
is one uniform manner of ascribing and accessing complex attributes (labels) defined
for all structure components.
Properties:
Number : long
object number is assigned by the user; it is qunique among all the components of the
same type.
Operations:
SetLabel (label_type : IRobotLabelType, label_name : string)

The function applies the defined label to an object. At a given moment, an object may
have only one label of a type applied (e.g. there may not be two supports defined for
one node). If an object has a formerly applied label of the same type, it is replaced by
the new one.
HasLabel (label_type : IRobotLabelType) : bool

The function returns True (non-zero value) if a label of the type has already been
defined for the object.
RemoveLabel (label_type : IRobotLabelType)

The function deletes a label of the indicated type.
Strona 71
GetLabelName (label_type : IRobotLabelType) : string

The function returns the name of a label of the indicated type, applied to the object. If
the object does not have any label of the type, running the function leads to a critical
error.
GetLabel (label_type : IRobotLabelType) : IRobotLabel

The function returns a label of the indicated type applied to the object. If the object
does not have any label of the type, running the function leads to a critical error.
GetLabels () : IRobotCollection
The function returns a collection containing all labels (of different types) defined for
a given object.
IRobotDataObjectServer
All objects of the same type are managed by the same object server.
RobotDataObjectServer defines a common interface for such servers.
Operations:
Exist (number : long) : bool

The function returns True (non-zero value) if the object of the indicated name already
exists.
Get (number : long) : IRobotDataObject

The function returns an object with the indicated user-defined number. The type of
the returned object agrees with the type of objects managed by the server. If the
object of the indicated number does not exist, running the function leads to critical
error.
GetMany (selection : IRobotSelection) : IRobotCollection

The function returns a collection of objects that meet the criteria of the indicated
selection.
GetAll () : IRobotCollection
The function returns a collection containing all objects managed by the server.
Delete (number : long)

The function deletes the object of the indicated number.
DeleteMany (selection : IRobotSelection)
Strona 72

SetLabel (object_selection : IRobotSelection, label_type : IRobotLabelType, label_name

: string)

the criteria of the indicated selection.
RemoveLabel (object_selection : IRobotSelection, label_type : IRobotLabelType)

The function removes the labels of the indicated type from all objects that meet the
criteria of the indicated selection.
IRobotObjectType

Querying mechanism
Data Server defines a simple querying mechanism that allows one to select only the
relevant structure elements from among all the structure elements managed by the
server. The selection process consists of two phases: determining the structure
elements that are of interest for the designer, and taking them from the server and
performing an operation on the elements. Selection defined by means of the object of
RobotSelection type is used to determine the relevant sub-set of objects - structure
components. Thus, a new selection is to be defined by creating a new object of
RobotSelection type. By means of the operations available for an object of
RobotSelection type, one may describe the selection of the relevant structure
components. On the basis of the RobotSelection object, one may obtain a set of
objects that meet the criteria determined in Selection. The mode of access to such a
set is defined by means of the Collection described formally by the RobotCollection
type. The collection simplifies the access to all its elements, orders and indexes them
with numbers from 1 to the number of elements in the collection. Thus, it is easy to
browse through the objects belonging to the collection. A collection created on the
basis of the formerly defined selection allows one to get access to all the object that
meet the selection criteria.
IRobotSelection
RobotSelection allows one to define selections of particular structure components
Properties:
Type : IRobotObjectType
types of objects described by selections (e.g. I_OT_NODE for node selection). The
object type is applied when a selection is created and it may not be changed.
Operations:
FromText (sel_text : string)

Robot allows one to define a selection of particular structure components by
introducing a text - list describing the selection in the appropriate syntax. Such text
may also be used as a parameter of the FromText method that creates on the basis of
Strona 74
the text the relevant selection. A text provided as the parameter should describe the
selection in the currently used interface language of Robot.
ToText () : string
Returns a selection description in the form of the appropriate text
Clear ()
Resetting selection - selection is empty after this operation
Add (sel : IRobotSelection)

Adding the indicated selection to the current one.
Exclude (sel : IRobotSelection)

Logical complement of the current selection and the selection indicated as the
argument
And (sel : IRobotSelection)

Operation of logical product with the selection provided as the argument
IRobotCollection
The RobotCollection type is defined to unify the access mode to the sub-set of
objects of a given type. Each object belonging to a collection is linked with a number
- the index of the object in the collection. In order to obtain an object, one should
provide its index. Indexes assume values from 1 to Count, where Count is the number
of all objects in the collection. One should differentiate between the object index and
the user-defined object number (e.g. node number). The user-defined number of an
object is ascribed permanently to the object, unless the user changes the number. The
index, in turn, corresponds to the position of the object in the given collection - the
same object may have different indexes in different collections. Indexes are ascribed
to objects in a given collection in such a way that the increasing index values
correspond to the increasing values of user-defined numbers ascribed to the objects.
For instance, if a collection consists of three objects with the user-defined numbers
24, 105 and 214, the objects obtain the following indexes in the same collection: 1, 2,
3.
Properties:
Count : long
Number of all objects in a collection (it is also the index of the last element of the
collection)
Operations:
Strona 75
Get (index : long) : IDispatch

The function returns an object with the indicated index in the collection. The type of
returned object depends on the collection type - for a collection of nodes, the Get
method returns an object of the RobotNode type.
IRobotMultiSelection
RobotMultiSelection interface describes a set of many selections of different types.
Multi-selection may be useful to describe complex selections of objects of more than
one type.
Properties:
Modes : IRobotModeSelection
mode selection is treated as a supplement to load case selection
CaseCmpnt : long
selected number of a load case component (it refers only to code combinations);
zero value indicates selection of all components (selection is not limited to a specific
component)
Operations:
Exist (obj_type : IRobotObjectType) : bool

The function returns True (non-zero value) if the multi-selection contains the
selection of objects of the indicated type.

type within the multi-collection
Get (obj_type : IRobotObjectType) : IRobotCollection

multi-collection.
Before selecting a collection, one should check by means of the Exist function if it
has been defined within the framework of the multi-collection.
IRobotModeSelection

Properties:
Type : IRobotModeSelectionType
type of mode selection
Mode : long
mode number - its interpretation depends on a chosen type of mode selection
Combination : IRobotModeCombinationType
selected type of a combination which includes all load case modes
Labels - complex attributes of objects

The notion of Label has been introduced to simplify the description of complex
object attributes - structure components.
A complex attribute is an attribute for the description of which a set of values is
required, as opposed to a simple attribute described by one value. A support is an
example of a complex attribute. In order to define a support, one should provide an
entire set of values describing particular support parameters. On the other hand, the
entire support is an attribute of a supported node. The set of all values describing
particular quantities-values of a complex attribute becomes in a sense the value of
this attribute. A label is used to name and identify such a complex value. It suffices to
provide once the values of all attribute parameters (e.g. a support) and associate a
name with this set (a character string), to make it possible to use the name only
instead of the entire set of values. Thus, in order to apply an appropriate support to a
node, it suffices to provide the name of a support (the label associated with the set of
values describing all support parameters) and it is not necessary to reinforcement-
introduce the values of particular support parameters.
Strona 77
Since there are many different types of complex attributes, the notion of a complex
attribute i.e. a label type (RobotLabelType) has been introduced. The name of a label
is unique within the set of labels of the same type.

IRobotLabel
The RobotLabel interface describes the complex attribute referred to as Label in the
Robot Object Model. The complex attribute is defined by an entire set of values and
not by one value, as in the case of a simple attribute. The set of values is associated
with a name - a character string. The set of values describing complex attribute
parameters consists the data of the label, while the character string associated with
the set consists the label name.
Properties:
Type : IRobotLabelType
label type
Name : string
name associated with the label - the name us unique among all the labels of the same
type and therefore it may be used to identify the label.
Data : IDispatch
object containing the label data - set of values describing the complex attribute
represented by the label. The object type depends on the label type. For instance, the
data of a label describing a node support (i.e. labels of the I_LT_NODE_SUPPORT
type) are represented by the object of the RobotNodeSupportData type.
UniqueId : long
unique label identifier
IRobotLabelServer
All labels are managed (created, made accessible, deleted) by the label server.
Irrespective of label type, a label must be defined by means of the server to be used in
structure definition later on.
Operations:
Create (label_type : IRobotLabelType, label_name : string) : IRobotLabel

The function creates and returns a new label of the defined type and with the defined
name. if labels of the indicated type are stored in a database (as in the case foundation
bar section type labels - I_LT_BAR_SECTION), then, the function Create looks
through the currently available databases to fine a label with the defined name. If the
label is not found in the database, all parameter values describing a label will be
initialized with appropriate values from the database. If the user defines a label that is
absent from the database, then, he should define appropriate values of all the
parameters describing the complex attribute.
Strona 80
Store (label : IRobotLabel)

Once a label is created and the values of its particular parameters are defined, one
should save it in the structure so that it could be applied to appropriate structure
component. If a label of the same type and name has already been saved in the
structure, the values of all its parameters will be up-dated on the basis of the newly-
defined values.
Delete (label_type : IRobotLabelType, label_name : string)

The function deletes a label of the indicatd type and name. If the label has been used
as an attribute value of a structure component, then, the value of the attribute is set as
undefined after deleting the label. For instance, if a bar had STEEL defined as its
material, then, after deleting the STEEL label of the I_LT_BAR_MATERIAL type
from the label server, the bar will have no material defined.
Exist (label_type : IRobotLabelType, label_name : string) : bool

The function checks if there exist the label of the indicated type and name, i.e. if it
has been saved in the structure.
Get (label_type : IRobotLabelType, label_name : string) : IRobotLabel

The function returns the label of the indicated type and name. If such label already
exists, running the function leads to critical error.

InsertParams : IRobotFileInsertParams
parameters of inserting the structure defined in an STR file to the current project
Params : IRobotSTRParams
parameters defined in the STR file
Operations:
ReadParams (_file_path : string) : bool

Function reads in the parameters defined in the indicated STR file. Once read in, the
parameters are available by means of the Params component and may be edited. If
read-out of variables fails, then zero value will be returned (False).
InsertToProject (_file_path : string, _ignore_warnings : bool, _only_geometry : bool) :

bool
Strona 602
Function inserts definition of the structure described in the indicated STR file to the
current project. If the parameters of the inserted structure have been read out and
modified earlier, then their new values will be considered during structure insertion.

Operations:
ProjectNew (_prj_type : IRobotProjectType) : bool

Function creates a new project of the indicated type.
ProjectOpen (_file_path : string) : bool

Function opens the project saved in the indicated RTD format file.
ProjectSave ()
Function saves the current project to an RTD format file.
ProjectSaveAs (_file_path : string)

Function saves the current project to the indicated RTD format file.
GetExtension (_extmdl_name : string) : IDispatch

Function returns the interface for the module extending functionality of the Robot
program kernel. If the extension with the indicated name has not been installed, then
the function returns zero value (Nothing).
ProjectNewFromTemplate (_tmpl_file : string) : bool

Function creates a new document based on the template defined by the specified file.
IRobotKernelPreferences
Interface describing parameters of the Robot program kernel.
Operations:
GetLanguage (_lang_id : IRobotLanguage) : int

Function returns the current setting of the indicated language.
GetDirectory (_rob_dir : IRobotDirectory) : string

Function returns the full path to the selected folder.
Strona 604
SetLanguage (_lang_id : IRobotLanguage, _lang_num : int)
SetDirectoryExt (_dir_ext : IRobotDirectoryExtension, _full_path : string)

Function defines a folder extension. If an empty character string is given a as a full
path to the extension, it will result in deleting the extension.
Meaning of the folder extension is best illustrated by the example.

If the SetDirectoryExt( I_DE_TEMPLATE, "C:\My Templates") function is
activated, then from this moment on template files will be searched first in the C:\My
Templates folder and next, in the standard folder with template files.
GetDirectoryExt (_dir_ext : IRobotDirectoryExtension) : string

Function returns folder extension. If for a specified folder no extension has been
defined, function returns an empty character string.
