GetFireproofing

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.FrameObj.GetFireproofing

VB6 Procedure

Function GetFireproofing(ByVal Name As String, ByRef MyType As Long, ByRef Thickness As Double, ByRef Perimeter As Double, ByRef Density As Double, ByRef tf As Boolean) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing frame object.

MyType

This is 1, 2 or 3, indicating the type of fireproofing assigned.

1 = Sprayed on - program calculate section perimeter

2 = Sprayed on - user provides section perimeter

3 = Concrete encased

Thickness

When MyType = 1 or MyType = 2 this is the thickness of the sprayed on fireproofing. When MyType = 3 this is the concrete cover dimension. [L]

Perimeter

This item applies only when MyType = 2. It is the length of fireproofing applied measured around the perimeter of the frame object cross-section. [L]

Density

This is the weight per unit volume of the fireproofing material. [F/L³]

This item applies only when MyType = 1 or MyType = 3. If this item is True, the fireproofing is assumed to be applied to the top flange of the section. If it is False, the program assumes no fireproofing is applied to the section top flange. This flag applies for I, channel and double channel sections.

Remarks

This function retrieves the fireproofing assignments to frame objects.

The function returns zero if the fireproofing assignments are successfully retrieved, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub GetFireproofing()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim MyType As Long
      Dim Thickness As Double
      Dim Perimeter As Double
      Dim Density As Double
      Dim tf As Boolean

   '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, 3, 124, 3, 200)

   'assign fireproofing
      ret = SapModel.FrameObj.SetFireproofing("ALL", 1, 2, 0, 8.68E-06, False, Group)

   'get fireproofing
      ret = SapModel.FrameObj.GetFireproofing("3", MyType, Thickness, Perimeter, Density, tf)

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