SetOAluminum

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.PropMaterial.SetOAluminum

VB6 Procedure

Function SetOAluminum(ByVal Name As String, ByVal MyType As Long, ByVal Alloy As String, ByVal Fcy As Double, ByVal Fty As Double, ByVal Ftu As Double, ByVal Fsu As Double, ByVal SSHysType As Long, Optional ByVal Temp As Double = 0) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing aluminum material property.

MyType

This is 1, 2 or 3, indicating the type of aluminum.

1 = Wrought

2 = Cast-Mold

3 = Cast-Sand

Alloy

The Alloy designation for the aluminum, for example, 2014-T6 for wrought or 356.0-T7 for cast (mold or sand) aluminum.

Fcy

The compressive yield strength of aluminum. [F/L
2
]

Fty

The tensile yield strength of aluminum. [F/L
2
]

Ftu

The tensile ultimate strength of aluminum. [F/L
2
]

Fsu

The shear ultimate strength of aluminum. [F/L
2
]

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 aluminum materials.

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

VBA Example

Sub AssignMatPropAluminumData()

'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)

'initialize new material property

ret = SapModel.PropMaterial.SetMaterial("Aluminum", MATERIAL_ALUMINUM)

'assign other properties

ret = SapModel.PropMaterial.SetOAluminum("Aluminum", 1, "2014-T6", 34, 34, 37, 23, 2)

'close Sap2000

SapObject.ApplicationExit False

Set SapModel = Nothing

Set SapObject = Nothing

End Sub
