Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.AreaObj.SetLoadWindPressure_1

VB6 Procedure

Function SetLoadWindPressure(ByVal Name As String, ByVal 
 LoadPat As String, ByVal MyType As Long, ByVal Cp As Double, ByVal DistributionType 
 As Long, Optional ByVal ItemType As eItemType = Object) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing area object or group, depending 
 on the value of the ItemType item.

LoadPat

The name of a defined load pattern.

MyType

This is either 1 or 2, indicating the wind pressure 
 type.

1 = Windward, pressure 
 varies over height

2 = Other, pressure is constant 
 over height

Cp

This is the wind pressure coefficient.

DistributionType

This is either 1 or 2, indicating the distribution type.

1 = To Joints

2 = To Frames One-way

3 = To Frames Two-way

ItemType

This is one of the following items in the eItemType 
 enumeration:

Object = 0

Group = 1

SelectedObjects = 2

If this item is Object, the assignment is made to the 
 area object specified by the Name item.

If this item is Group, the assignment is made to all 
 area objects in the group specified by the Name item.

If this item is SelectedObjects, assignment is made 
 to all selected area objects, and the Name item is ignored.

Remarks

This function assigns wind pressure loads to area objects.

The function returns zero if the loads are successfully 
 assigned; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub AssignAreaObjectWindPressureLoad()

'dimension variables

Dim SapObject as cOAPI

Dim SapModel As cSapModel

Dim ret As Long

'create Sap2000 object

Set SapObject = CreateObject("CSI.SAP2000.API.SapObject")

'start Sap2000 application

SapObject.ApplicationStart

'create SapModel object

Set SapModel = SapObject.SapModel

'initialize model

ret = SapModel.InitializeNewModel

'create model from template

ret = SapModel.File.NewWall(2, 48, 
 2, 48)

'assign area object wind pressure load

ret = SapModel.AreaObj.SetLoadWindPressure("ALL", 
 "DEAD", 1, 0.8, 1, Group)

'close Sap2000

SapObject.ApplicationExit False

Set SapModel = Nothing

Set SapObject = Nothing
