ModifyUndeformedGeometry Method

cAnalyze ModifyUndeformedGeometry Method

CSi API ETABS 2015

Modifies the undeformed geometry based on displacements obtained from a specified load case

Namespace: ETABS2015
Assembly: ETABS2015 (in ETABS2015.dll) Version: 15.0.0.0 (15.0.0.0)

Syntax

int ModifyUndeformedGeometry(
	string CaseName,
	double SF,
	int Stage = -1,
	bool Original = false
)

int ModifyUndeformedGeometry(
	string CaseName,
	double SF,
	int Stage = -1,
	bool Original = false
)

Function ModifyUndeformedGeometry ( _
	CaseName As String, _
	SF As Double, _
	Optional Stage As Integer = -1, _
	Optional Original As Boolean = False _
) As Integer

Function ModifyUndeformedGeometry ( _
	CaseName As String, _
	SF As Double, _
	Optional Stage As Integer = -1, _
	Optional Original As Boolean = False _
) As Integer

int ModifyUndeformedGeometry(
	String^ CaseName, 
	double SF, 
	int Stage = -1, 
	bool Original = false
)

int ModifyUndeformedGeometry(
	String^ CaseName, 
	double SF, 
	int Stage = -1, 
	bool Original = false
)

Parameters

CaseName: Type: System String

SF: Type: System Double

Stage (Optional): Type: System Int32
This item applies only when the specified load case is a staged construction load case. It is the stage number from which the displacements are obtained. Specifying a -1 for this item means to use the last run stage.

Original (Optional): Type: System Boolean
If this item is True, all other input items in this function are ignored and the original undeformed geometry data is reinstated.

Return Value

Returns zero if it is successful; otherwise it returns a nonzero value
