Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.PointObj.GetElm

VB6 Procedure

Function GetElm(ByVal Name As String, ByRef Elm as String) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing point object.

Elm

The name of the point element associated with the specified point object.

Remarks

This function retrieves the name of the point element (analysis model point) associated with a specified point object in the object-based model.

This function returns zero if the point element name is successfully returned; otherwise it returns nonzero. An error occurs if the analysis model does not currently exist.

VBA Example

Sub GetPointElementName()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim Elm As String

   '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)

   'create the analysis model
      ret = SapModel.Analyze.CreateAnalysisModel

   'get point element name
      ret = SapModel.PointObj.GetElm("5", Elm)

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