====== Scripting ======

You can interact with Phänotyp via scripting. Experienced users can use this feature already when studying the Guithub of Phänotyp. This is a minimal example of accessing the functions via the text editor in Blender 3D directly. When structure, supports and profiles are set correctly, this script is doing a simple single thread analysis followed by three sectional optimizations.

<code python [enable_line_numbers="true"]>
import bpy
from phaenotyp import operators

# run single fram analysis
operators.calculate_single_frame()

# run utilization optimization for 3 times
for i in range(3):
    operators.optimize_utilization()
</code>

You can achieve the same result when running this operations separately.

<code python [enable_line_numbers="true"]>
import bpy
from phaenotyp import basics, calculation, geometry

# get basic variables
scene = bpy.context.scene
frame = scene.frame_current
members = scene["<Phaenotyp>"]["members"]

# calculate new properties for each member
geometry.update_members_pre()
        
# create a truss object for PyNite
truss = calculation.prepare_fea()

# run singlethread and get results at this frame
feas = calculation.run_st(truss, frame)

# wait for it and interweave results to data
calculation.interweave_results(feas, members)

# do sectional optimizatoin by utilization for three times
for i in range(3):
    # get new diameters for each member        
    calculation.utilization_sectional()

    # calculate new properties for each member
    geometry.update_members_pre()

    # created a truss object of PyNite
    truss = calculation.prepare_fea()

    # run singlethread and get results
    feas = calculation.run_st(truss, frame)

    # wait for it and interweave results to data
    calculation.interweave_results(feas, members)

# calculate new visualization-mesh
geometry.update_members_post()

# update view
basics.view_vertex_colors()

# print the first members axial value at the first frame at its start
print(members['0']['axial']['1'][0])
