NewBlank

NewBlank

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.File.NewBlank

VB6 Procedure

Function NewBlank() As Long

Parameters

None

Remarks

Do not use this function to add to an existing model. This function should be used only for creating a new model and typically would be preceded by calls to ApplicationStart or InitializeNewModel.

The function returns zero if the new blank model is successfully created, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub NewBlankModel()

'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 a blank model from template

ret = SapModel.File.NewBlank

'close Sap2000

SapObject.ApplicationExit False

Set SapModel = Nothing

Set SapObject = Nothing

End Sub
