Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.AreaObj.GetEdgeConstraint

VB6 Procedure

Function GetEdgeConstraint(ByVal Name As String, ByRef ConstraintExists As Boolean) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing area object.

ConstraintExists

This item is True if an automatic edge constraint is generated by the program for the area object in the analysis model.

Remarks

This function retrieves the generated edge constraint assignments to area objects.

The function returns zero if the assignments are successfully retrieved; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub GetAreaObjEdgeConstraint()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim ConstraintExists As Boolean

   '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.NewWall(2, 48, 2, 48)

   'assign auto edge constraint option
      ret = SapModel.AreaObj.SetEdgeConstraint("ALL", True, Group)

   'get auto edge constraint option
      ret = SapModel.AreaObj.GetEdgeConstraint("1", ConstraintExists)

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