Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.Results.JointReact

VB6 Procedure

Function JointReact(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 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

Parameters

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

GroupElmc = 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 those 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.

F1, F2, F3

These are one dimensional arrays that include the reaction forces in the point element local 1, 2 and 3 axes directions, respectively, for each result. [F]

M1, M2, M3

These are one dimensional arrays that include the reaction moments about the point element local 1, 2 and 3 axes, respectively, for each result. [FL]

Remarks

This function reports the joint reactions for the specified point elements. The reactions reported are from restraints, springs and grounded (one-joint) links.

The function returns zero if the reactions are successfully recovered, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

See Analysis Results Remarks for more information.
