Parameters
- Name
- Type:
System String
The name of an existing frame object
- MyType
- Type: System Int32
This is either 1 or 2 indicating how the output stations are specified
- maximum segment size, that is, maximum station spacing
- minimum number of stations
- MaxSegSize
- Type: System Double
The maximum segment size, that is, the maximum station spacing. This item applies only when MyType = 1. [L]
- MinSections
- Type: System Int32
The minimum number of stations. This item applies only when MyType = 2.
- NoOutPutAndDesignAtElementEnds
- Type: System Boolean
If this item is True, no additional output stations are added at the ends of line elements
when the frame object is internally meshed. In ETABS, this item will always be False.
- NoOutPutAndDesignAtPointLoads
- Type: System Boolean
If this item is True, no additional output stations are added at point load locations.
In ETABS, this item will always be False.
Return Value
Returns zero if the data is successfully retrieved, otherwise it returns a nonzero value
