Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.EditFrame.DivideAtIntersections

VB6 Procedure

Function DivideAtIntersections(ByVal Name As String, ByRef Num As Double, ByRef NewName() As String) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing straight frame object.

Num

This is the number of frame objects into which the specified frame object is divided.

NewName

This is an array that includes the names of the new frame objects.

Remarks

This function divides straight frame objects at intersections with selected point objects, line objects, area edges and solid edges. Curved frame objects are not divided.

The function returns zero if the frame objects are successfully divided; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub DivideFrameObjectAtIntersections()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim Num As Long
      Dim NewName() As String
      Dim Name As String

   'create Sap2000 object
      Set SapObject = New SAP2000.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 point objects to model and select them
      ret = SapModel.PointObj.AddCartesian(-188, 0, 288, Name)
      ret = SapModel.PointObj.SetSelected(Name, True)
      ret = SapModel.PointObj.AddCartesian(-88, 0, 288, Name)
      ret = SapModel.PointObj.SetSelected(Name, True)

   'divide frame object at intersections
      ret = SapModel.EditFrame.DivideAtIntersections("8", Num, NewName)

   'close Sap2000
      SapObject.ApplicationExit False
      Set SapModel = Nothing
      Set SapObject = Nothing
End Sub
