VB6 Procedure

Function SetLoadWindPressure(ByVal Name As String, ByVal LoadCase As String, ByVal MyType As Double, ByVal Cp 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.

LoadCase

The name of a defined load case.

MyType

This is either 1 or 2, indicating the wind pressure type.

1 = Windward, pressure varies over height

2 = Other, pressure is constant over height

This is the wind pressure coefficient.

The function returns zero if the loads are successfully assigned; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub AssignAreaObjectWindPressureLoad()
   '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 model from template
      ret = SapModel.File.NewWall(2, 48, 2, 48)

   'assign area object wind pressure load
      ret = SapModel.AreaObj.SetLoadWindPressure("ALL", "DEAD", 1, 0.8, Group)

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