GetMPUniaxial Method

cPropMaterial GetMPUniaxial Method

CSi API ETABS 2015

Retrieves the mechanical properties for a material with an uniaxial directional symmetry type.

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

Syntax

int GetMPUniaxial(
	string Name,
	ref double E,
	ref double A,
	double Temp = 0
)

int GetMPUniaxial(
	string Name,
	ref double E,
	ref double A,
	double Temp = 0
)

Function GetMPUniaxial ( _
	Name As String, _
	ByRef E As Double, _
	ByRef A As Double, _
	Optional Temp As Double = 0 _
) As Integer

Function GetMPUniaxial ( _
	Name As String, _
	ByRef E As Double, _
	ByRef A As Double, _
	Optional Temp As Double = 0 _
) As Integer

int GetMPUniaxial(
	String^ Name, 
	double% E, 
	double% A, 
	double Temp = 0
)

int GetMPUniaxial(
	String^ Name, 
	double% E, 
	double% A, 
	double Temp = 0
)

Parameters

Name: Type: System String
The name of an existing material property.

E: Type: System Double

A: Type: System Double

Temp (Optional): Type: System Double
the temperature at which the specified data is to be retrieved. The temperature must have been defined previously for the material.
This item applies only if the specified material has properties that are temperature dependent. That is, it applies only if properties are specified for the material at more than one temperature.

Return Value

Returns zero if the data is successfully retrieved; otherwise it returns a nonzero value. The function returns an error if the symmetry type of the specified material is not isotropic.
