SetMultiLinearElastic Method

cPropLink SetMultiLinearElastic Method

CSi API ETABS 2015

Initializes a multilinear elastic-type link property. If this function is called for an existing link property, all items for the property are reset to their default values.

Parameters

Name: Type: System String
The name of an existing or new link property. If this is an existing property, that property is modified; otherwise, a new property is added

DOF: Type: System Boolean

Fixed

Type:

System Boolean
This is a boolean array, dimensioned to 5, indicating if the specified degree of freedom is fixed (restrained).

Value	Fixity
Fixed(0)	U1 fixity if DOF(0) = True
Fixed(1)	U2 fixity if DOF(1) = True
Fixed(2)	U3 fixity if DOF(2) = True
Fixed(3)	R1 fixity if DOF(3) = True
Fixed(4)	R2 fixity if DOF(4) = True
Fixed(5)	R3 fixity if DOF(5) = True

The term Fixed(n) applies only when DOF(n) = True.

Nonlinear

Type:

System Boolean
This is a boolean array, dimensioned to 5, indicating if nonlinear properties exist for a specified degree of freedom.

Value	Nonlinear
Nonlinear(0)	U1 has nonlinear properties
Nonlinear(1)	U2 has nonlinear properties
Nonlinear(2)	U3 has nonlinear properties
Nonlinear(3)	R1 has nonlinear properties
Nonlinear(4)	R2 has nonlinear properties
Nonlinear(5)	R3 has nonlinear properties

The term Nonlinear(n) applies only when DOF(n) = True and Fixed(n) = False.

Ke: Type: System Double

Ce: Type: System Double

DJ2: Type: System Double

DJ3: Type: System Double

Notes (Optional): Type: System String

GUID (Optional): Type: System String
The GUID (global unique identifier), if any, assigned to the property. If this item is input as Default, the program assigns a GUID to the property.

Return Value

Returns zero if the property is successfully initialized; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
