(Note: Newer Function Available)

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.PropMaterial.GetORebar

VB6 Procedure

Function GetORebar(ByVal Name As String, ByRef Fy As Double, ByRef Fu As Double, ByRef eFy As Double, ByRef eFu As Double, ByRef SSType As Long, ByRef SSHysType As Long, ByRef StrainAtHardening As Double, ByRef StrainUltimate As Double, ByRef UseCaltransSSDefaults As Boolean, Optional ByVal Temp As Double = 0) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing rebar material property.

Fy

The minimum yield stress. [F/L
2
]

Fu

The minimum tensile stress. [F/L
2
]

eFy

The expected yield stress. [F/L
2
]

eFu

The expected tensile stress. [F/L
2
]

SSType

This is 0, 1 or 2, indicating the stress-strain curve type.

0 = User defined

1 = Parametric - Simple

2 = Parametric - Park

SSHysType

This is 0, 1 or 2, indicating the stress-strain hysteresis type.

0 = Elastic

1 = Kinematic

2 = Takeda

StrainAtHardening

This item applies only when parametric stress-strain curves are used and when UseCaltransSSDefaults is False. It is the strain at the onset of strain hardening.

StrainUltimate

This item applies only when parametric stress-strain curves are used and when UseCaltransSSDefaults is False. It is the ultimate strain capacity. This item must be larger than the StrainAtHardening item.

UseCaltransSSDefaults

If this item is True, the program uses Caltrans default controlling strain values, which are bar size dependent.

Temp

This item applies only if the specified material has properties that are temperature dependent. That is, it applies only if properties are specified for the material at more than one temperature.

This item is the temperature at which the specified data is to be retrieved. The temperature must have been defined previously for the material.

Remarks

This function retrieves the other material property data for rebar materials.

The function returns zero if the data is successfully retrieved; otherwise it returns a nonzero value. The function returns an error if the specified material is not rebar.
