   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim NumberSolids As Long
      Dim SolidName() As String

   'create Sap2000 object
      Set SapObject = New SAP2000.SapObject

   'start Sap2000 application
      SapObject.ApplicationStart

   'divide solid object
      ret = SapModel.EditSolid.Divide("1", 2, 3, 4, NumberSolids, SolidName)

   'close Sap2000
