SetCase {Static Nonlinear}

SetCase

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.LoadCases.StaticNonlinear.SetCase

VB6 Procedure

Function SetCase(ByVal Name As String) As Long

Parameters

Name

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

Remarks

This function initializes a static nonlinear analysis case. If this function is called for an existing load case, all items for the case are reset to their default value.

The function returns zero if the load case is successfully initialized; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub SetCaseStaticNonlinear()

'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 static nonlinear load case

ret = SapModel.LoadCases.StaticNonlinear.SetCase("LCASE1")

'close Sap2000

SapObject.ApplicationExit False
