Introducing a Seam:

I purchased Roy Osherove's book on Unit Testing, which was where I learned the trade. Thank you. Here is a summary which I wished existed. Produced via Gemini. If you're interested get the book at any good book shop. I do not get paid to promote this: https://www.artofunittesting.com/

1. Constructor Injection (Book pp. 57–60)[cite: 2]

Pass the dependency as an interface parameter into the class constructor so the test can inject a fake instance[cite: 2].

Here is quiz for you.

• We have a precast panel
• We have an identifier which is actually the identifier of the panel part's assembly.
• Which of the following will allow us to 'number' the panel?

                foreach (PanelNamer.PanelIdentifier id in renamedPanels)
                {

benkoshy

Beam panel = new Beam(Beam.BeamTypeEnum.PANEL)
 {
     StartPoint = startPoint,
     EndPoint = endPoint,
     Name = "Ben Koshy’s Precast Panel"
 };

panel.Profile.ProfileString  = getWallPanelProfileString(height, thickness);
// The profile string is simple a height*thickness encoded in the string.

If you enjoy trying to spot bugs in the API, with unexpected behaviour: checkout the Tekla API.

The following does not move the object. Can you discern why?

 // set up second beam_moved_geometrically
 Beam beam2manuallyTransformed = beamFactory(startPointFactory(), endPointFactory(), "2"); // orange class string            
 beam2manuallyTransformed.Insert();

Watch out!

Another one of those "gotcha's" by Tekla.

I got bitten. I couldn't work out why this was failing. And then I realised. They're mutating. Watch out!

        [Test]
        public void TestMutationOfPointsWhenApplyingMoveOperations()
        {

Key Take Out

WorldCoordinateSystem

The world Coordinate system is a Coordinate System with Origin defined as (0,0,0) and the XAxis defined as (1,0,0) and the YAxis as: (0,1,0).

FromCoordinateSystem

FromCoordinateSystem(beamCS) is the same as ByCoordinateSystems(beamCS, worldCS)

A hello world program.

Ensure you have the Australasia environment loaded. Or otherwise change the profile string to a profile in your environment

Model model =  new Model();

if (model.GetConnectionStatus())

benkoshy

public static List<string> getProfiles()
        {
            List<string> profiles = new List<string>();
            CatalogHandler catalogHandler = new CatalogHandler();

            if (catalogHandler.GetConnectionStatus())
            {
                ProfileItemEnumerator profileItemEnumerator = catalogHandler.GetLibraryProfileItems();

Key Methods:

public class TeklaModelCreator : IBeamCreator
{

    Model model; 

    public TeklaModelCreator()
    {
        this.model = new Model();

        public double getHeight(string profileString)
        {
            LibraryProfileItem libraryProfileItem = new LibraryProfileItem();
            libraryProfileItem.Select(profileString);

            List<ProfileItemParameter> parameters = libraryProfileItem.aProfileItemParameters.Cast<ProfileItemParameter>().ToList();
            double height = parameters.First(p => p.Property.ToUpper() == "HEIGHT").Value;

 return height;
