int GetPDelta(
string Name,
ref double[] Value
)
Function GetPDelta ( _
Name As String, _
ByRef Value As Double() _
) As Integer
int GetPDelta(
String^ Name,
array<double>^% Value
)
Parameters
- Name
- Type:
System String
The name of an existing link property.
- Value
- Type: System Double
This is an array of P-delta parameters
| Value | PDelta Parameter |
|---|
| Value(0) | M2 P-delta to I-end of link as moment, M2I |
| Value(1) | M2 P-delta to J-end of link as moment, M2J |
| Value(2) | M3 P-delta to I-end of link as moment, M3I |
| Value(3) | M3 P-delta to J-end of link as moment, M3J |
Return Value
Returns zero if the values are successfully retrieved;
otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
