Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.ConstraintDef.Count

VB6 Procedure

Function Count(Optional ConstraintType As eConstraintType) As Long

Parameters

ConstraintType

This optional value is one of the following items in the eConstraintType enumeration.

CONSTRAINT_BODY = 1

CONSTRAINT_DIAPHRAGM = 2

CONSTRAINT_PLATE = 3

CONSTRAINT_ROD = 4

CONSTRAINT_BEAM = 5

CONSTRAINT_EQUAL = 6

CONSTRAINT_LOCAL = 7

If the ConstraintType item is specified, the function returns the number of defined constraints of the specified type. Otherwise it returns the total number of defined constraints without regard for type.

VBA Example

Sub CountConstraints()
   '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.New2DFrame(PortalFrame, 3, 124, 3, 200)

   'return number of defined constraints
      ret = SapModel.ConstraintDef.Count

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