Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.PropFrame.SetColdI

VB6 Procedure

Function SetColdI(ByVal Name As String, ByVal MatProp 
 As String, ByVal t3 As Double, ByVal t2 As Double, ByVal t2b As Double, 
 ByVal Thickness As Double, ByVal Radius As Double, Optional ByVal Color 
 As Long = -1, Optional ByVal Notes As String = "", Optional 
 ByVal GUID As String = "") As Long

Parameters

Name

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

MatProp

The name of the material property for the section.

t3

The section depth. [L]

t2

The section top flange width. [L]

t2b

The section bottom flange width. [L]

Thickness

The section thickness. [L]

Radius

The corner radius, if any. [L]

Color

The display color assigned to the section. If Color 
 is specified as -1, the program will automatically assign a color.

Notes

The notes, if any, assigned to the section.

GUID

The GUID (global unique identifier), if any, assigned 
 to the section. If this item is input as Default, the program assigns 
 a GUID to the section.

Remarks

This function initializes a cold formed I-shape 
 frame section property. If this function is called for an existing frame 
 section property, all items for the section are reset to their default 
 value.

The function returns zero if the section property is 
 successfully initialized; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
