SapObject.SapModel.Results.JointDispl
Function JointDispl(ByVal Name As String, ByVal ItemTypeElm As eItemTypeElm, ByRef NumberResults As Long, ByRef Obj() As String, ByRef Elm() As String, ByRef ACase() As String, ByRef StepType() As String, ByRef StepNum() As Double, ByRef U1() As Double, ByRef U2() As Double, ByRef U3() As Double, ByRef R1() As Double, ByRef R2() As Double, ByRef R3() As Double) As Long
Name
The name of an existing point object, point 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 point element corresponding to the point object specified by the Name item.
If this item is Element, the result request is for the point element specified by the Name item.
If this item is GroupElm, the result request is for all point elements directly or indirectly specified in the group specified by the Name item.
If this item is SelectionElm, the result request is for all point elements directly or indirectly selected and the Name item is ignored.
See Item Type for Elements for more information.
NumberResults
The total number of results returned by the program.
Obj
This is an array that includes the point object name associated with each result, if any. Some results will have no point object associated with them. For these cases this item will be blank.
Elm
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.
U1, U2, U3
These are one dimensional arrays that include the displacement in the point element local 1, 2 and 3 axes directions, respectively, for each result. [L]
R1, R2, R3
These are one dimensional arrays that include the rotation about the point element local 1, 2 and 3 axes, respectively, for each result. [rad]
This function reports the joint displacements for the specified point elements. The displacements reported by this function are relative displacements.
The function returns zero if the displacements are successfully recovered, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
See Analysis Results Remarks for more information.
