GetSolverOption_1

GetSolverOption_1 
(Note: Newer 
 function available)

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.Analyze.GetSolverOption

VB6 Procedure

Function GetSolverOption(ByRef SolverType As Long, ByRef 
 SolverProcessType As Long , ByRef Force32BitSolver As Boolean, ByRef StiffCase 
 As String) As Long

Parameters

SolverType

This is 0, 1 or 2, indicating the solver type.

0 = Standard solver

1 = Advanced solver

2 
 = Multi-threaded solver

SolverProcessType

This is 0, 1 or 2, indicating the process the analysis 
 is run.

0 = Auto (program determined)

1 = GUI process

2 
 = Separate process

Force32BitSolver

This is True if the analysis is always run using 32-bit, 
 even on 64-bit computers.

StiffCase

The name of the load case used when outputting the mass 
 and stiffness matrices to text files. If this item is blank, no matrices 
 are output.

Remarks

This function retrieves the model solver options.

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

VBA Example

Sub GetModelSolverOption()

'dimension variables

Dim SapObject as cOAPI

Dim SapModel As cSapModel

Dim ret As Long

Dim SolverType As Long

Dim SolverProcessType As Long

Dim Force32BitSolver As Boolean

Dim StiffCase As String

'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)

'set model solver options

ret = SapModel.Analyze.GetSolverOption_1(SolverType, 
 SolverProcessType , Force32BitSolver, StiffCase)

'close Sap2000

SapObject.ApplicationExit False

Set SapModel = Nothing

Set SapObject = Nothing
