SetOTendon 
(Note: Newer function available)

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.PropMaterial.SetOTendon

VB6 Procedure

Function SetOTendon(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Fy As Double, ByVal Fu As Double, ByVal SSType As Long, ByVal SSHysType As Long, Optional ByVal Temp As Double = 0) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing tendon material property.

Fy

The minimum yield stress. [F/L
2
]

Fu

The minimum tensile stress. [F/L
2
]

SSType

This is 0, 1 or 2, indicating the stress-strain curve type.

0 = User defined

1 = Parametric 250 ksi strand

2 = Parametric 270 ksi strand

SSHysType

This is 0, 1 or 2, indicating the stress-strain hysteresis type.

0 = Elastic

1 = Kinematic

2 = Takeda

Temp

This item applies only if the specified material has properties that are temperature dependent. That is, it applies only if properties are specified for the material at more than one temperature.

This item is the temperature at which the specified data applies. The temperature must have been defined previously for the material.

Remarks

This function sets the other material property data for tendon materials.

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

VBA Example

Sub AssignMatPropTendonData()

'dimension variables

Dim SapObject As Sap2000v15.SapObject

Dim SapModel As cSapModel

Dim ret As Long

'create Sap2000 object

Set SapObject = New Sap2000v15.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)

'initialize new material property

ret = SapModel.PropMaterial.SetMaterial("Tendon", MATERIAL_TENDON)

'assign other properties

ret = SapModel.PropMaterial.SetOTendon("Tendon", 230, 255, 1, 1)

'close Sap2000

SapObject.ApplicationExit False

Set SapModel = Nothing

Set SapObject = Nothing

End Sub
