When working with a large project, the code should be written directly in the development environment. Jupyter Notebook (www.jupyter.org) is widely spread for Python programming language. It's possible to write code in cells and execute individual application fragments.
1. Run Jupyter Notebook and create a new file. In the first cell we will write the code to runQForm UK. It is important to correctly specify the path to the file with API commands.

import sys sys.path.append(r'C:\QForm UK\12.0.1\API\App\Python')
from QFormAPI import*
qform = QForm()
try: arg1 = r'C:\QForm UK\12.0.1\x64' qform.qform_dir_set(arg1)
if qform.qform_is_started_by_api(): qform.qform_attach()
else: arg2 = False ret2 = qform.qform_start(arg2)
except Exception: print('Error') |
The try-except block allows you to join an open project or open a project in new QForm UK window.
Running code carried out at the press a Run button.
2. Let's consider the application of API commands on the example of creating a project through the development environment .
First, let's create a process consisting of one operation:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
|
arg3 = OperationParams() arg3.id = 1 arg3.name = r'Operation 1' arg3.parent = 0 arg3.creation_mode = OperationCreationMode.CreateAsNewProcess ret3:ItemId = qform.operation_create(arg3) |
Next, let's select the problem type:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
|
arg4 = Property() arg4.object_type = ObjectType.Operation arg4.object_id = - 1 arg4.path = r'dim_type' arg4.property_type = PropertyType.Value arg4.value = r'axis' qform.property_set(arg4) |
After running these blocks, the first operation with the 2D axisymmetric problem type will be created.
3. Similarly, using commands from Application Wizard, you can add all the necessary parameters for the operation.
Below is a code example that allows you to select the workpiece material, specify the initial workpiece temperature, and select the drive for tool 1 from the standard database:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 |
|
# Material arg5 = Property() arg5.object_type = ObjectType.Workpiece arg5.object_id = 1 arg5.path = r'params/material_id' arg5.property_type = PropertyType.Value arg5.value = r'std:w-material/Steels/Carbon steels/C22 (1-0402)' qform.property_set(arg5)
# Temperature arg6 = Property() arg6.object_type = ObjectType.Workpiece arg6.object_id = 1 arg6.path = r'params/temper' arg6.property_type = PropertyType.Value arg6.value = r'1200' qform.property_set(arg6)
# Drive arg7 = Property() arg7.object_type = ObjectType.Tool arg7.object_id = 1 arg7.path = r'drive_id' arg7.property_type = PropertyType.Value arg7.value = r'std:drive/Mechanical press/25MN' qform.property_set(arg7) |

Note that to set properties to objects, you must first load the geometry of these objects and assign types to them. |
