Namespace:  ETABS2016
Assembly:  ETABS2016 (in ETABS2016.dll) Version: 16.0.0.0 (16.0.0.0)
Syntax
Copy
int SetOTendon_1(
	string Name,
	double Fy,
	double Fu,
	int SSType,
	int SSHysType,
	double FinalSlope,
	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
FinalSlope
Type: SystemDouble
This item applies only to parametric stress-strain curves. It is a multiplier on the material modulus of elasticity, E. This value multiplied times E gives the final slope of the curve.
Temp (Optional)
Type: SystemDouble
The temperature at which the specified data applies. 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 assigned; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

Public Sub Example()
       Dim SapModel As cSapModel
       Dim EtabsObject As cOAPI
       Dim ret As Integer = -1

   'create ETABS object
       EtabsObject = CreateObject("CSI.ETABS.API.ETABSObject")

   'start ETABS application
       ret = EtabsObject.ApplicationStart()

   'create SapModel object
       SapModel = EtabsObject.SapModel

   'initialize model
       ret = SapModel.InitializeNewModel()

   'create steel deck template model
       ret = SapModel.File.NewSteelDeck(4,12,12,4,4,24,24)

   'initialize new material property
       ret = SapModel.PropMaterial.SetMaterial("Tendon", eMatType.Tendon)

   'assign other properties
       ret = SapModel.PropMaterial.SetOTendon_1("Tendon", 230, 255, 1, 1, -0.1)

   'close ETABS
       EtabsObject.ApplicationExit(False)

   'clean up variables
       SapModel = Nothing
       EtabsObject = Nothing
