Parameters

Name
Type: OnlineSystem String
The name of an existing frame object or group, depending on the value of the ItemType item.
Item
Type: OnlineSystem Int32
This is an integer between 1 and 12, inclusive, indicating the overwrite item considered.
  1. Framing type
  2. Live load reduction factor
  3. Unbraced length ratio, Major
  4. Unbraced length ratio, Minor
  5. Effective length factor, K Major
  6. Effective length factor, K Minor
  7. Moment coefficient, Cm Major
  8. Moment coefficient, Cm Minor
  9. Nonsway moment factor, Db Major
  10. Nonsway moment factor, Db Minor
  11. Sway moment factor, Ds Major
  12. Sway moment factor, Ds Minor
Value
Type: OnlineSystem Double
The value of the considered overwrite item.
  1. Framing type
    • 0 = Program Default
    • 1 = Sway special
    • 2 = Sway Intermediate
    • 3 = Sway Ordinary
    • 4 = Non-sway
  2. Live load reduction factor Value >= 0; 0 means use program determined value
  3. Unbraced length ratio, Major Value >= 0; 0 means use program determined value
Unbraced length ratio, Minor Value >= 0; 0 means use program determined value Effective length factor, K Major Value >= 0; 0 means use program determined value Effective length factor, K Minor Value >= 0; 0 means use program determined value Moment coefficient, Cm Major Value >= 0; 0 means use program determined value Moment coefficient, Cm Minor Value >= 0; 0 means use program determined value Nonsway moment factor, Db Major Value >= 0; 0 means use program determined value Nonsway moment factor, Db Minor Value >= 0; 0 means use program determined value Sway moment factor, Ds Major Value >= 0; 0 means use program determined value Sway moment factor, Ds Minor Value >= 0; 0 means use program determined value
ItemType (Optional)
Type: ETABS2015 eItemType
This is one of the following items in the eItemType enumeration:
  • Object = 0
  • Group = 1
  • SelectedObjects = 2

If this item is Objects, the assignment is made to the frame object specified by the Name item.

If this item is Group, the assignment is made to all frame objects in the group specified by the Name item.

If this item is SelectedObjects, the assignment is made to all selected frame objects and the Name item is ignored.

Return Value

Returns zero if the item is successfully set; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
