Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.LinkObj.DeleteLoadTargetForce

VB6 Procedure

Function DeleteLoadTargetForce(ByVal Name As String, ByVal LoadCase As String, Optional ByVal ItemType As eItemType = Object) As Long

Parameters

Name

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

LoadCase

The name of a defined load case.

ItemType

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

Object = 0

Group = 1

SelectedObjects = 2

If this item is Object, the load assignments are deleted for the link object specified by the Name item.

If this item is Group, the load assignments are deleted for all link objects in the group specified by the Name item.

If this item is SelectedObjects, the load assignments are deleted for all selected link objects, and the Name item is ignored.

Remarks

This function deletes the target force assignments to the specified link objects for the specified load case.

The function returns zero if the target force assignments are successfully deleted; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

   'add link object by points
      ret = SapModel.LinkObj.AddByPoint("1", "5", Name1)

      ReDim RD(5)
      DOF(0) = True
      f(0) = 50
