Parameters

Name: Type: System String
The name of an existing shell-type area property.

MatProp: Type: System String
The name of the material property for the area property.

SteelLayoutOption

Type:

System Int32
This is 0, 1 or 2 indicating, the rebar layout option.

Value	Layout
0	Default
1	One layer
2	Two layers

DesignCoverTopDir1: Type: System Double
The cover to the centroid of the top reinforcing steel running in the local 1 axis direction of the area object. [L]
This item applies only when SteelLayoutOption = 1 or 2.

DesignCoverTopDir2: Type: System Double
The cover to the centroid of the top reinforcing steel running in the local 2 axis direction of the area object. [L]
This item applies only when SteelLayoutOption = 1 or 2.

DesignCoverBotDir1: Type: System Double
The cover to the centroid of the bottom reinforcing steel running in the local 1 axis direction of the area object. [L]
This item applies only when SteelLayoutOption = 2.

DesignCoverBotDir2: Type: System Double
The cover to the centroid of the bottom reinforcing steel running in the local 2 axis direction of the area object. [L]
This item applies only when SteelLayoutOption = 2.

Return Value

Returns zero if the parameters are successfully assigned; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
