)
Parameters
- MyOption
- Type:
System Int32
This is 1, 2 or 3, indicating the mass source option.
| Value | Option |
|---|
| 1 | From element self mass and additional masses |
| 2 | From loads |
| 3 | From element self mass and additional masses and loads |
- NumberLoads
- Type: System Int32
The number of load patterns from which mass is obtained.
This item applies only when MyOption is 2 or 3.
- LoadPat
- Type: System String
This is an array of the names of the load patterns from which mass is obtained.
This item applies only when MyOption is 2 or 3.
- SF
- Type: System Double
Return Value
Returns zero if the mass source is successfully set;
otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
