(Note: Newer function available)

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.Analyze.SetSolverOption

VB6 Procedure

Function SetSolverOption(ByVal SolverType As Long, ByVal Force32BitSolver As Boolean, Optional ByVal StiffCase As String = "") As Long

Parameters

SolverType

This is 0 or 1, indicating the solver type.

0 = Standard solver

1 = Advanced solver

Force32BitSolver

This is True if the analysis is always run using 32-bit, even on 64-bit computers.

StiffCase

The name of the load case used when outputting the mass and stiffness matrices to text files. If this item is blank, no matrices are output.

Remarks

This function sets the model solver options.

The function returns zero if the options are successfully set; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub SetModelSolverOption()

'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)

'set model solver options

ret = SapModel.Analyze.SetSolverOption(1, True, "DEAD")

'close Sap2000

SapObject.ApplicationExit False

Set SapModel = Nothing

Set SapObject = Nothing

End Sub
