SetMaterialNonlinearity

SetMaterialNonlinearity

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.LoadCases.StaticNonlinearStaged.SetMaterialNonlinearity

VB6 Procedure

Function SetMaterialNonlinearity(ByVal Name As String, ByVal TimeDepMatProp As Boolean) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing static nonlinear staged analysis case.

TimeDepMatProp

When this is True, any specified time dependent material properties are considered in the analysis.

Remarks

This function sets the material nonlinearity options for the specified load case.

The function returns zero if the options are successfully set; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub SetCaseStaticNonlinearStagedMaterialNonlinearity()

'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.New2DFrame(PortalFrame, 2, 144, 2, 288)

'add static nonlinear staged load case

ret = SapModel.LoadCases.StaticNonlinearStaged.SetCase("LCASE1")

'set geometric nonlinearity options

ret = SapModel.LoadCases.StaticNonlinearStaged.SetMaterialNonlinearity("LCASE1", True)

'close Sap2000

SapObject.ApplicationExit False

Set SapModel = Nothing

Set SapObject = Nothing

End Sub

Release Notes

Initial release in version 11.02.

Changed nomenclature from Load Cases, Analysis Cases and Response Combinations to Load Patterns, Load Cases and Load Combinations, respectively, in version 12.00.
