cLinkObj GetLocalAxes Method

CSi API ETABS 2015

Retrieves the local axis angle assignment for link objects.

Namespace: ETABS2015
Assembly: ETABS2015 (in ETABS2015.dll) Version: 15.0.0.0 (15.0.0.0)

Syntax

int GetLocalAxes(
	string Name,
	ref double Ang,
	ref bool Advanced
)

int GetLocalAxes(
	string Name,
	ref double Ang,
	ref bool Advanced
)

Function GetLocalAxes ( _
	Name As String, _
	ByRef Ang As Double, _
	ByRef Advanced As Boolean _
) As Integer

Function GetLocalAxes ( _
	Name As String, _
	ByRef Ang As Double, _
	ByRef Advanced As Boolean _
) As Integer

int GetLocalAxes(
	String^ Name, 
	double% Ang, 
	bool% Advanced
)

int GetLocalAxes(
	String^ Name, 
	double% Ang, 
	bool% Advanced
)

Parameters

Name: Type: System String
The name of an existing link object.

Ang: Type: System Double
This is the angle that the local 2 and 3 axes are rotated about the positive local 1 axis, from the default orientation. The rotation for a positive angle appears counter clockwise when the local +1 axis is pointing toward you. [deg].

Advanced: Type: System Boolean
This item is True if the link object local axes orientation was obtained using advanced local axes parameters.

Return Value

Returns zero if the assignment is successfully retrieved; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
