Retrieves the code name used for auto seismic parameters in Quake-type load patterns.
Namespace: ETABS2015Assembly: ETABS2015 (in ETABS2015.dll) Version: 15.0.0.0 (15.0.0.0)
int GetAutoSeismicCode(
string Name,
ref string CodeName
)
Function GetAutoSeismicCode ( _
Name As String, _
ByRef CodeName As String _
) As Integer
int GetAutoSeismicCode(
String^ Name,
String^% CodeName
)
Parameters
- Name
- Type:
System String
The name of an existing Quake-type load pattern.
- CodeName
- Type: System String
This is either blank or the name code used for the auto seismic parameters.
Blank means no auto seismic load is specified for the Quake-type load pattern.
Return Value
Returns zero if the code is successfully retrieved; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
An error is returned if the specified load pattern is not a Quake-type load pattern.
