Parameters

Name

The name of an existing or new function. If this is an existing function,n that function is modified; otherwise, a new function is added.

EURO2004Country

This is 0, 1, 5, 6, or 10 indicating the country for which the Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs) are specified.

0 = Other (NDPs are user specified)

1 = CEN Default

5 = Norway

6 = Singapore

10 = Portugal

EURO2004Direction

This is 1 or 2, indicating the ground motion direction.

1 = Horizontal

2 = Vertical (Does not apply when EURO2004Country = 6)

EURO2004SpectrumType

This is 1 or 2, indicating the spectrum type.

1 = Type 1

2 = Type 2 (Does not apply when EURO2004Country = 5 or 6)

EURO2004GroundType

This is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, indicating the ground type.This item only applies when the EURO2004Direction item is 1 (horizontal).

1 = A (Does not apply when EURO2004Country = 6)

2 = B (Does not apply when EURO2004Country = 6)

3 = C

4 = D

5 = E (Does not apply when EURO2004Country = 6)

6 = S1 (Only applies when EURO2004Country = 6)

EURO2004ag

The design ground acceleration in g, ag.

EURO2004S

The soil factor, S. This item only applies when the EURO2004Direction item is 1 (horizontal).If the EURO2004Country item is not 0, then the input value for this item is ignored.

EURO2004AvgoverAg

The vertical ground acceleration divided by the horizontal ground acceleration, Avg/Ag. This item only applies when the EURO2004Direction item is 2 (vertical).If the EURO2004Country item is not 0, then the input value for this item is ignored.

EURO2004Tb

The lower limit of period of the constant spectral acceleration branch, Tb. If the EURO2004Country item is not 0, then the input value for this item is ignored.

EURO2004Tc

The upper limit of period of the constant spectral acceleration branch, Tc. If the EURO2004Country item is not 0, then the input value for this item is ignored.

EURO2004Td

The period defining the start of the constant displacement range, Td. If the EURO2004Country item is not 0, then the input value for this item is ignored.

EURO2004Beta

The lower bound factor, Beta. If the EURO2004Country item is not 0, then the input value for this item is ignored.

EURO2004q

The behavior factor, q.

DampRatio

The damping ratio for the function, 0 <= DampRatio < 1.

Remarks

This function defines a Eurocode 8 2004 response spectrum function.

The function returns zero if the function is successfully defined; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub SetRSFuncEurocode82004()

'dimension variables

Dim SapObject as cOAPI

Dim SapModel As cSapModel

Dim ret As Long

'create Sap2000 object

Set SapObject = CreateObject("CSI.SAP2000.API.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, 2, 144, 2, 288)

'add Eurocode 8 2004 RS function

ret = SapModel.Func.FuncRS.SetEurocode82004_1("RS-1", 1, 1, 1, 2, 0.4, 1.2, 0.9, 0.15, 0.5, 2, 0.2, 2, 0.04)

'close Sap2000

SapObject.ApplicationExit False

Set SapModel = Nothing

Set SapObject = Nothing

End Sub
