GetPrecastI (Note: Newer function available)

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.PropFrame.GetPrecastI

VB6 Procedure

Function GetPrecastI(ByVal Name As String, ByRef FileName As String, ByRef MatProp As String, ByRef b() As Double, ByRef d() As Double, ByRef Color As Long, ByRef Notes As String, ByRef GUID As String) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing precast concrete I girder frame section property.

FileName

If the section property was imported from a property file, this is the name of that file. If the section property was not imported, this item is blank.

MatProp

The name of the material property for the section.

b

This is an array, dimensioned to 3, containing the horizontal section dimensions. [L]

b(0) = B1 (> 0)

b(1) = B2 (> 0)

b(2) = B3 (> 0)

b(3) = B4 (>= 0)

Section dimensions B1 through B4 are defined on the precast concrete I girder definition form.

d

This is an array, dimensioned to 5, containing the vertical section dimensions. [L]

d(0) = D1 (> 0)

d(1) = D2 (> 0)

d(2) = D3 (>= 0)

d(3) = D4 (>= 0)

d(4) = D5 (>= 0)

d(5) = D6 (> 0)

Section dimensions D1 through D6 are defined on the precast concrete I girder definition form.

Color

The display color assigned to the section.

Notes

The notes, if any, assigned to the section.

GUID

The GUID (global unique identifier), if any, assigned to the section.

Remarks

This function retrieves frame section property data for a precast concrete I girder frame section.

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