BUG: TableExportConfigManager Updated but not used when exporting

[gvandewiel86]

Describe the bug
After a lot of experiments and testing i finally got the TableExportConfigManager working and have added a second (id=2) setup which should only export the Member Internal Forces by Section. It is set as the default config, however when i run the the ExportResultTablesWithDetaliedMembersResultsToXML function as provided by the RFEM Client it does not honor the settings.

As far as i can both in SOAP as in the Python files there is no option to force the use of Config with id=2.

To Reproduce

from RFEM.initModel import Model
from RFEM.ImportExport.exports import ExportResultTablesWithDetaliedMembersResultsToXML as ExportXML

Model(False,'CAL-2158-003-001-A Truss members')
print('Connected to Model')

print('Export Results to XML')
ExportXML('test.xml')

Expected behavior
I am aware that the requested results are part of the output file, however in the case we are looking at we will be exporting a large model (~2000 members) and approximately 400 load combinations resulting in 800-900 MB file when exporting directly from RFEM.
With all the additional output the will grow to huge sizes which is to be parsed externally.

i would expect that the default config is followed by Webservices as is when exporting the tables using RFEM.
If this is not the case i would expect to see an option the forcibly select an export config.

This morning i had another idea it to just overwrite the Default export profile with the desired settings, i.e. there is only 1 profile available when manually running the export tables command from RFEM (GUI).

Again when running Export Tables from the RFEM GUI, the XML file shows exactly what has been selected in the export menu. However when running the either of the following commands:

• ExportResultTablesWithDetaliedMembersResultsToXML
• ExportResultTablesToXML

The output file shows something that is did not select (see first post)

Hi @gvandewiel86,
your comment seems correct. Since there is no way to set the Table Export Selector Options it should be respected when calling ExportResultTables... functions or function to set these options should be added.

[gvandewiel86]

Hi @OndraMichal,

are you referring to the options that i need to manually set when using the GUI (e.g. selecting load combinations, etc) or selecting the correct "export profile".

As we are currently performing a manual export every time we ran the calculations, i would be happy to have a (hacky) work-around or to modify the default "export profile" and export results for all load cases and combinations.

Howwever it seems to not respect the settings in the default profile (made in the GUI) so am i correct to assume that it uses some "hard coded" export setting which is not controllable by the user in any way?
