what is the 'parentNo' input mean for count object by type method

[PSARFI]

Hi,

I would like to know what does the second input parameter, which is for 'parent number' mean in this method:

ModelClient.get_object_count(object_types.E_OBJECT_TYPE_MEMBER_ECCENTRICITY, ????);

Thank you for your help.

Hi @PSARFI,
in case of base objects like member eccentricities there is no parent class. Therefore the parent_no can be set to 0 in your case:
ModelClient.get_object_count(object_types.E_OBJECT_TYPE_MEMBER_ECCENTRICITY, 0).
However e.g. for loads the parent_no is important to define the corresponding load case number (parent_no = loadcase number).
