Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.PointObj.CountConstraint

VB6 Procedure

Function CountConstraint(ByRef Count As Long, Optional ByVal Name As String = "") As Long

Parameters

Count

The number of counted constraints.

Name

This optional item is the name of an existing point object.

Remarks

If the Name item is provided, the Count item returns the total number of constraint assignments made to the specified point object. If the Name item is not specified, or is specified as an empty string, the Count item returns the total number of constraint assignments to all point objects in the model. If the Name item is specified but it is not recognized by the program as a valid point object, an error is returned.

This function returns zero if the count is successfully completed, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub CountConstraintAssignments()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret as Long
      Dim Count 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 constraint definition
      ret = SapModel.ConstraintDef.SetDiaphragm("Diaph1")

   'make constraint assignment
      ret = SapModel.PointObj.SetConstraint("3", "Diaph1")

   'get number of constraint assignments
      ret = SapModel.PointObj.CountConstraint(Count)

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