Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.LineElm.GetInsertionPoint

VB6 Procedure

Function GetInsertionPoint(ByVal Name As String, ByRef Offset1() As Double, ByRef Offset2() As Double) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing line element.

Offset1

This is an array of three joint offset distances, in the Global coordinate system, at the I-End of the line element. [L]

Offset1(0) = I-End offset in the global X-axis direction

Offset1(1) = I-End offset in the global Y-axis direction

Offset1(2) = I-End offset in the global Z-axis direction

Offset2

This is an array of three joint offset distances, in the Global coordinate system, at the J-End of the line element. [L]

Offset2(0) = J-End offset in the global X-axis direction

Offset2(1) = J-End offset in the global Y-axis direction

Offset2(2) = J-End offset in the global Z-axis direction

Remarks

This function retrieves line element insertion point assignments. The assignments are reported as end joint offsets.

The function returns zero if the insertion point data is successfully retrieved, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub GetLineElmInsertionPoint()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim i As Long
      Dim CardinalPoint As Long
      Dim Mirror2 As Boolean
      Dim StiffTransform As Boolean
      Dim Offset1() As Double
      Dim Offset2() As Double
      Dim CSys 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, 3, 124, 3, 200)

   'assign frame object insertion point
      ReDim Offset1(2)
      ReDim Offset2(2)
      For i=0 To 2
         Offset1(i)=10 + i
         Offset2(i)=20 + i
      Next i
      ret = SapModel.FrameObj.SetInsertionPoint("15", 7, False, True, Offset1, Offset2)

   'create the analysis model
      ret = SapModel.Analyze.CreateAnalysisModel

   'get line element insertion point
      ReDim Offset1(2)
      ReDim Offset2(2)
      ret = SapModel.LineElm.GetInsertionPoint("15-1", Offset1, Offset2)

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