VBA Example

Sub SetGDisplType()
   '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)

   'add generalized displacement
         ret = SapModel.GDispl.Add("GD1", 2)

   'modify generalized displacement type
      ret = SapModel.GDispl.SetType("GD1", 1)

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