Function GetRestraint(ByVal Name As String, ByRef Value() As Boolean) As Long

Parameters

This is an array of six restraint values.

Value(0) = U1

Value(1) = U2

Value(2) = U3

Value(3) = R1

Value(4) = R2

Value(5) = R3

This function retrieves the restraint assignments for a point element. The restraint assignments are always returned in the point local coordinate system.

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