SetDiscretization

SetDiscretization

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.TendonObj.SetDiscretization

VB6 Procedure

Function SetDiscretization(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Ang As Double, Optional ByVal ItemType As eItemType = Object) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing tendon object or group, depending on the value of the ItemType item.

Value

The maximum discretization length for the tendon. [L]

ItemType

This is one of the following items in the eItemType enumeration:

Object = 0

Group = 1

SelectedObjects = 2

If this item is Object, the assignment is made to the tendon object specified by the Name item.

If this item is Group, the assignment is made to all tendon objects in the group specified by the Name item.

If this item is SelectedObjects, assignment is made to all selected tendon objects, and the Name item is ignored.

Remarks

This function assigns a maximum discretization length to tendon objects.

The function returns zero if the discretization length is successfully assigned, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub AssignTendonMaxDiscretizationLength()

'dimension variables

Dim SapObject as cOAPI

Dim SapModel As cSapModel

Dim ret As Long

Dim Name 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)

'add tendon object by points

ret = SapModel.TendonObj.AddByPoint("3", "9", Name)

'assign tendon maximum discretization length

ret = SapModel.TendonObj.SetDiscretization(Name, 12)

'close Sap2000

SapObject.ApplicationExit False

Set SapModel = Nothing

Set SapObject = Nothing

End Sub
