Parameters

Name

The name of an existing solid object.

nelm

The number of solid elements created from the specified solid object.

Elm

An array that includes the name of a solid element created from the specified solid object.

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

VBA Example

Sub GetSolidElementInfoForSolidObject()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim nelm 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.NewSolidBlock(300, 400, 200, , , 2, 2, 2)

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

   'get solid element information
      ret = SapModel.SolidObj.GetElm("1", nelm, Elm)

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