cPropMaterialGetOTendon Method

(NEWER FUNCTION AVAILABLE) Retrieves the other material property data for tendon materials.

Namespace:  ETABS2016
Assembly:  ETABS2016 (in ETABS2016.dll) Version: 16.0.0.0 (16.0.0.0)
Syntax
Copy
int GetOTendon(
	string Name,
	ref double Fy,
	ref double Fu,
	ref int SSType,
	ref int SSHysType,
	double Temp = 0
)

Parameters

Name
Type: SystemString
The name of an existing tendon material property.
Fy
Type: SystemDouble
Fu
Type: SystemDouble
The minimum tensile stress. [F/L2]
SSType
Type: SystemInt32
This is 0, 1 or 2, indicating the stress-strain curve type.
ValueSSType
0User defined
1Parametric - 250 ksi strand
1Parametric - 270 ksi strand
SSHysType
Type: SystemInt32
This is 0 through 7, indicating the stress-strain curve type.
ValueSSHysType
0Elastic
1Kinematic
2Takeda
3Pivot
4Concrete
5BRB Hardening
6Degrading
7Isotropic
Temp (Optional)
Type: SystemDouble
The temperature at which the specified data 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

Type: Int32
Returns zero if the data is successfully retrieved; otherwise it returns a nonzero value. The function returns an error if the specified material is not tendon.

   'assign other properties
       ret = SapModel.PropMaterial.SetOTendon("Tendon", 230, 255, 1, 1)

   'get other properties
       ret = SapModel.PropMaterial.GetOTendon("Tendon", Fy, Fu, SSType, SSHysType)

   'close ETABS
       EtabsObject.ApplicationExit(False)
