|---|
| Value(0) | Cross sectional area modifier |
| Value(1) | Shear area in local 2 direction modifier |
| Value(2) | Shear area in local 3 direction modifier |
| Value(3) | Torsional constant modifier |
| Value(4) | Moment of inertia about local 2 axis modifier |
| Value(5) | Moment of inertia about local 3 axis modifier |
| Value(6) | Mass modifier |
| Value(7) | Weight modifier |
Return Value
Returns zero if the modifier assignments are successfully retrieved, otherwise it returns a nonzero value
