DivideAtDistance

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.EditFrame.DivideAtDistance

VB6 Procedure

Function DivideAtDistance(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Dist As Double, ByVal IEnd As Boolean, ByRef NewName() As String) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing straight frame object.

Dist

The frame object is divided at this distance from the end specified by the IEnd item.[L]

IEnd

If this item is True, the Dist item is measured from the I-end of the frame object. Otherwise it is measured from the J-end of the frame object.

Num

This is the number of frame objects into which the specified frame object is divided.

NewName

This is an array that includes the names of the two new frame objects.

Remarks

This function divides straight frame objects into two objects at a location defined by the Dist and IEnd items. Curved frame objects are not divided.

The function returns zero if the frame objects are successfully divided; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub DivideFrameObjectAtDistance()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim NewName() As String

   '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, 2, 144, 2, 288)

   'divide frame object at distance
      ret = SapModel.EditFrame.DivideAtDistance("8", 100, True, NewName)

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