NewBlank

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.File.NewBlank

VB6 Procedure

Function NewBlank() As Long

Parameters

None

Remarks

Do not use this function to add to an existing model. This function should be used only for creating a new model and typically would be preceded by calls to ApplicationStart or InitializeNewModel.

The function returns zero if the new blank model is successfully created, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub NewBlankModel()
   '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 a blank model from template
      ret = SapModel.File.NewBlank

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