SetEndSkew

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.FrameObj.SetEndSkew

VB6 Procedure

Function SetEndSkew(ByVal Name As String, ByVal SkewI As Double, ByVal SkewJ As Double, Optional ByVal ItemType As eItemType = Object) As Long

Parameters

Name

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

SkewI

The angle in degrees measured counter clockwise from the positive local 3-axis to a line parallel to the I-End of the frame object (-90 < SkewI < 90). [deg]

SkewJ

The angle in degrees measured counter clockwise from the positive local 3-axis to a line parallel to the J-End of the frame object (-90 < SkewJ < 90). [deg]

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 frame object specified by the Name item.

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

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

Remarks

This function assigns frame object end skew data. End skew data is used in the program to plot the extruded view of bridge objects that have been updated as spine models only.

The function returns zero if the end skew data is successfully assigned, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

End skew assignments are applicable only to straight frame objects.

VBA Example

Sub AssignFrameEndSkewData()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long

   '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 frame end skew data
      ret = SapModel.FrameObj.SetEndSkew("15", 10, 20)

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