Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.FrameObj.GetEndSkew

VB6 Procedure

Function GetEndSkew(ByVal Name As String, ByRef SkewI As Double, ByRef SkewJ As Double) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing frame object.

SkewI

The angle in degrees measured counter clockwise from the positive local 3-axis to a line parallel to the I-End of the frame object (-90 < SkewI < 90). [deg]

SkewJ

The angle in degrees measured counter clockwise from the positive local 3-axis to a line parallel to the J-End of the frame object (-90 < SkewJ < 90). [deg]

Remarks

This function retrieves frame object end skew assignments.

The function returns zero if the end skew data is successfully retrieved, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

End skew assignments are only applicable to straight frame objects. An error is returned if skew data is requested for a curved frame object.

End skew data is only used in the program to plot the extruded view of bridge objects that have been updated as spine models.

VBA Example

Sub GetFrameEndSkewData()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim SkewI As Double
      Dim SkewJ 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.New2DFrame(PortalFrame, 3, 124, 3, 200)

   'get end skew data
      ret = SapModel.FrameObj.GetEndSkew("15", SkewI, SkewJ)

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