SapObject.Sap2000.Results.AreaJointForcePlane
Function AreaJointForcePlane(ByVal Name As String, ByVal ItemTypeElm As eItemTypeElm, ByRef NumberResults As Long, ByRef Obj() As String, ByRef Elm() As String, ByRef PointElm() As String, ByRef ACase() As String, ByRef StepType() As String, ByRef StepNum() As Double, ByRef F1() As Double, ByRef F2() As Double, ByRef F3() As Double, ByRef M1) As Double, ByRef M2() As Double, ByRef M3() As Double) As Long
Name
The name of an existing area object, area element or group of objects depending on the value of the ItemTypeElm item.
ItemTypeElm
This is one of the following items in the eItemTypeElm enumeration:
ObjectElm = 0
Element = 1
GroupElm = 2
SelectionElm = 3
If this item is ObjectElm, the result request is for the plane elements corresponding to the area object specified by the Name item.
If this item is Element, the result request is for the plane element specified by the Name item.
If this item is GroupElm, the result request is for the plane elements corresponding to all area objects included in the group specified by the Name item.
If this item is SelectionElm, the result request is for plane elements corresponding to all selected area objects and the Name item is ignored.
NumberResults
The total number of results returned by the program.
Obj
This is an array that includes the area object name associated with each result, if any.
Elm
This is an array that includes the plane element name associated with each result.
PointElm
This is an array that includes the point element name associated with each result.
ACase
This is an array that includes the name of the analysis case or response combination associated with each result.
StepType
This is an array that includes the step type, if any, for each result.
StepNum
This is an array that includes the step number, if any, for each result.
F1, F2, F3
These are one dimensional arrays that include the joint force components in the point element local axes directions. [F]
M1, M2, M3
These are one dimensional arrays that include the joint moment components about the point element local axes. [FL]
This function reports the area joint forces for the point elements at each corner of the specified plane elements that have plane-type or asolid-type properties (not shell).
The function returns zero if the forces are successfully recovered, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
See Analysis Results Remarks for more information.
