	string Name,
	ref double Fy,
	ref double Fu,
	ref double EFy,
	ref double EFu,

Parameters

Name
Type: SystemString
The name of an existing rebar material property.
Fy
Type: SystemDouble
Fu
Type: SystemDouble
The minimum tensile stress. [F/L2]
EFy
Type: SystemDouble
EFu
Type: SystemDouble
SSType
Type: SystemInt32
This is 0, 1 or 2, indicating the stress-strain curve type.
ValueSSType
0User defined
1Parametric - Simple
2Parametric - Park
SSHysType
Type: SystemInt32
This is 0 through 7, indicating the stress-strain curve type.
ValueSSHysType
0Elastic
1Kinematic
2Takeda
3Pivot
4Concrete
5BRB Hardening
6Degrading
7Isotropic
StrainAtHardening
Type: SystemDouble
This item applies only when parametric stress-strain curves are used and when UseCaltransSSDefaults is False. It is the strain at the onset of strain hardening.
StrainUltimate
Type: SystemDouble
This item applies only when parametric stress-strain curves are used and when UseCaltransSSDefaults is False. It is the ultimate strain capacity. This item must be larger than the StrainAtHardening item.
UseCaltransSSDefaults
Type: SystemBoolean
If this item is True, the program uses Caltrans default controlling strain values, which are bar size dependent.
Temp (Optional)
Type: SystemDouble
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

Type: Int32
Returns zero if the data is successfully retrieved; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
