GetOverwrite

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.DesignConcrete.AS_3600_09.GetOverwrite

VB6 Procedure

Function GetOverwrite(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Item 
 As Long, ByRef Value As Double, ByRef ProgDet As Boolean) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of a frame object with a concrete frame design 
 procedure.

Item

This is an integer between 1 and 15, inclusive, indicating 
 the overwrite item considered.

1 = Framing type (beam 
 and column)

2 = Live load reduction 
 factor (beam and column)

3 = Unbraced length ratio, 
 Major (beam and column)

4 = Unbraced length ratio, 
 Minor (beam and column)

5 = Effective length factor, 
 K Major (column only)

6 = Effective length factor, 
 K Minor (column only)

7 = Moment coefficient, 
 km Major (column only)

8 = Moment coefficient, 
 km Minor (column only)

9 = Nonsway moment factor, 
 Db Major (column only)

10 = Nonsway moment factor, 
 Db Minor (column only)

11 = Sway moment factor, 
 Ds Major (column only)

12 = Sway moment factor, 
 Ds Minor (column only)

13 
 = Tangent of the angle of concrete compressive strut (beam only)

14 = Consider torsion (beam 
 only)

15 = Concrete cover for 
 closed stirrups (beam only)

Value

The value of the considered 
 overwrite item.

1 = Framing type

0 = As specified in preferences

1 = Sway special

2 = Sway intermediate

3 = Sway ordinary

4 = Nonsway

2 = Live load reduction 
 factor

Value >= 0; 0 means 
 use program determined value.

3 = Unbraced length ratio, 
 Major

Value >= 0; 0 means 
 use program determined value.

4 = Unbraced length ratio, 
 Minor

Value >= 0; 0 means 
 use program determined value.

5 = Effective length factor, 
 K Major

Value >= 0; 0 means 
 use program determined value.

6 = Effective length factor, 
 K Minor

Value >= 0; 0 means 
 use program determined value.

7 = Moment coefficient, 
 km Major

Value >= 0; 0 means 
 use program determined value.

8 = Moment coefficient, 
 km Minor

Value >= 0; 0 means 
 use program determined value.

9 = Nonsway moment factor, 
 Db Major

Value >= 0; 0 means 
 use program determined value.

10 = Nonsway moment factor, 
 Db Minor

Value >= 
 0; 0 means use program determined value.

11 = Sway moment factor, 
 Ds Major

Value >= 
 0; 0 means use program determined value.

12 = Sway moment factor, 
 Ds Minor

Value >= 
 0; 0 means use program determined value.

13 = Tangent of the angle 
 of concrete compressive strut

Value >= 0; 0 means 
 use program determined value.

14 = Consider torsion

0 = No

Any other value = Yes

15 = Concrete cover for 
 closed stirrups

Value >= 
 0; 0 means use program determined value.

ProgDet

If this item is True then the specified value is program 
 determined.

Remarks

This function retrieves the value of a concrete design 
 overwrite item.

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

VBA Example

Sub GetConcreteDesignOverwriteItemAS_3600_09()

'dimension variables

Dim SapObject as cOAPI

Dim SapModel As cSapModel

Dim ret As Long

Dim Value As Double

Dim ProgDet As Boolean

'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 new concrete frame section property

ret = SapModel.PropFrame.SetRectangle("R1", 
 "4000Psi", 20, 12)

'create model from template

ret = SapModel.File.New2DFrame(PortalFrame, 
 2, 144, 2, 288, True, "R1", "R1")

'set concrete design code

ret = SapModel.DesignConcrete.SetCode("AS 
 3600-09")

'run analysis

ret = SapModel.File.Save("C:\SapAPI\x.sdb")

ret = SapModel.Analyze.RunAnalysis

'start concrete design

ret = SapModel.DesignConcrete.StartDesign

'get overwrite item

ret = SapModel.DesignConcrete.AS_3600_09.GetOverwrite("8", 
 1, Value, ProgDet)

'close Sap2000

SapObject.ApplicationExit False

Set SapModel = Nothing

Set SapObject = Nothing
