VB6 Procedure

Function GetOutputStations(ByVal Name As String, ByRef MyType As Long, ByRef MaxSegSize As Double, ByRef MinSections As Long, ByRef NoOutPutAndDesignAtElementEnds As Boolean, ByRef NoOutPutAndDesignAtPointLoads As Boolean) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing frame object.

MyType

This is either 1 or 2 indicating how the output stations are specified.

1 = maximum segment size, that is, maximum station spacing

2 = minimum number of stations

MaxSegSize

The maximum segment size, that is, the maximum station spacing. This item applies only when MyType = 1. [L]

MinSections

The minimum number of stations. This item applies only when MyType = 2.

NoOutPutAndDesignAtElementEnds

If this item is True, no additional output stations are added at the ends of line elements when the frame object is internally meshed.

NoOutPutAndDesignAtPointLoads

If this item is True, no additional output stations are added at point load locations.

Remarks

This function retrieves frame object output station data.

The function returns zero if the data is successfully retrieved, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
