VB6 Procedure

Function SetReinfCircle(ByVal Name As String, ByRef ShapeName As String, ByVal XCenter As Double, ByVal YCenter As Double, ByVal Diameter As Double, ByVal Numberbars As Long, ByVal Rotation As Double, ByVal RebarSize As Double, Optional ByVal MatRebar As String = "") As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing frame section property that is a section designer section.

ShapeName

The name of an existing or new shape in a section designer property. If this is an existing shape, that shape is modified; otherwise, a new shape is added.

This item may be input as a blank string, in which case the program will assign a shape name to the shape and return that name in the ShapeName variable.

XCenter

The X-coordinate of the center of the shape in the section designer coordinate system. [L]

YCenter

The Y-coordinate of the center of the shape in the section designer coordinate system. [L]

Diameter

The diameter of the circular shape. [L]

NumberBars

The number of equally spaced bars for the circular reinforcing.

Rotation

The counter clockwise rotation of the shape from its default orientation. [deg]

Barsize

It is the size of the reinforcing bar.

MatRebar

The material property for the reinforcing steel.

Remarks

This function adds a new circular reinforcing shape or modifies an existing shape to be an circular reinforcing shape in a section designer property.

The function returns zero if the shape is successfully added or modified; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
