Function GetDesignProcedure ( _
Name As String, _
ByRef MyType As Integer _
) As Integer
int GetDesignProcedure(
String^ Name,
int% MyType
)
Parameters
- Name
- Type:
System String
The name of an existing frame object
- MyType
- Type: System Int32
This is an integer from the list below, indicating the design procedure type
of the specified frame object.
- Program determined = 0
- Steel Frame Design = 1
- Concrete Frame Design = 2
- Composite Beam Design = 3
- Steel Joist Design = 4
- No Design = 7
- Composite Column Design = 13
Return Value
Returns zero if the design procedure is successfully retrieved;
otherwise it returns a nonzero value
