Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.Analyze.RunAnalysis

VB6 Procedure

Function RunAnalysis() As Long

Parameters

None

Remarks

This function runs the analysis. The analysis model is automatically created as part of this function.

The function returns zero if the analysis model is successfully run, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your model must have a file path defined before running the analysis. If the model is opened from an existing file, a file path is defined. If the model is created from scratch, the File.Save function must be called with a file name before running the analysis. Saving the file creates the file path.

VBA Example

Sub RunSapAnalysisModel()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long

   '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)

   'save model
      ret = SapModel.File.Save("C:\SapAPI\x.sdb")

   'run model (this will create the analysis model)
      ret = SapModel.Analyze.RunAnalysis

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