GetLoadRotate

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.AreaObj.GetLoadRotate

VB6 Procedure

Function GetLoadRotate(ByVal Name As String, ByRef NumberItems As Long, ByRef AreaName() As String, ByRef LoadCase() As String, ByRef Value() As Double, Optional ByVal ItemType As eItemType = Object) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing area object or group, depending on the value of the ItemType item.

NumberItems

The total number of rotate loads retrieved for the specified area objects.

AreaName

This is an array that includes the name of the area object associated with each rotate load.

LoadCase

This is an array that includes the name of the load case associated with each rotate load.

Value

This is an array that includes the angular velocity value. [Cyc/T]

ItemType

This is one of the following items in the eItemType enumeration:

Object = 0

Group = 1

SelectedObjects = 2

If this item is Object, the assignments are retrieved for the area object specified by the Name item.

If this item is Group, the assignments are retrieved for all area objects in the group specified by the Name item.

If this item is SelectedObjects, assignments are retrieved for all selected area objects, and the Name item is ignored.

Remarks

This function retrieves the rotate load assignments to area objects.

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

VBA Example

Sub GetAreaObjectRotateLoad()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim NumberItems As Long
      Dim AreaName() As String
      Dim LoadCase() As String
      Dim Value() As Double

   '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 area object rotate load
      ret = SapModel.AreaObj.SetLoadRotate("ALL", "DEAD", 30, , Group)

   'get area object rotate load
      ret = SapModel.AreaObj.GetLoadRotate("ALL", NumberItems, AreaName, LoadCase, Value, Group)

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