Syntax
int GetLoads(
	string Name,
	ref int NumberLoads,
	ref string[] LoadType,
	ref string[] LoadName,

	ref double[] SF,
	ref double[] Tf,
	ref double[] At,
	ref string[] CSys,
	ref double[] Ang
)

Parameters

Name
Type: SystemString
The name of an existing linear direct integration time history load case
NumberLoads
Type: SystemInt32
The number of loads assigned to the specified analysis case
LoadType
Type: SystemString
This is an array that includes Load or Accel, indicating the type of each load assigned to the load case
LoadName
Type: SystemString
This is an array that includes the name of each load assigned to the load case.

If the LoadType item is Load, this item is the name of a defined load pattern.

If the LoadType item is Accel, this item is U1, U2, U3, R1, R2 or R3, indicating the direction of the load.

Func
Type: SystemString
This is an array that includes the name of the time history function associated with each load
SF
Type: SystemDouble
This is an array that includes the scale factor of each load assigned to the load case. [L/s2] for U1 U2 and U3; otherwise unitless
Tf
Type: SystemDouble
This is an array that includes the time scale factor of each load assigned to the load case
At
Type: SystemDouble
This is an array that includes the arrival time of each load assigned to the load case
CSys
Type: SystemString
This is an array that includes the name of the coordinate system associated with each load. If this item is a blank string, the Global coordinate system is assumed.

This item applies only when the LoadType item is Accel.

Ang
Type: SystemDouble
This is an array that includes the angle between the acceleration local 1 axis and the +X-axis of the coordinate system specified by the CSys item. The rotation is about the Z-axis of the specified coordinate system. [deg]

Return Value

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