cPointObj Interface

Adds a point object to a model. The added point object will be tagged as a Special Point except if it was merged with another point object. Special points are allowed to exist in the model with no objects connected to them.

Deletes all ground displacement load assignments, for the specified load pattern, from the specified point object(s).

Deletes all point force load assignments, for the specified load pattern, from the specified point object(s).

Deletes all restraint assignments from the specified point object(s).

Deletes special point objects that have no other objects connected to them.

Deletes all point spring assignments from the specified point object(s).

Retrieves selected data for all point objects in the model

Retrieves a list of objects connected to a specified point object

Retrieves the x, y and z coordinates of the specified point object in the Present Units.

Retrieves the diaphragm for a specified point object

Retrieves the GUID for specified point object.

Retrieves the label and story for a unique point object name

Retrieves the names and labels of all defined point objects.

Retrieves the ground displacement load assignments to point objects.

Retrieves the joint force load assignments to point objects.

Retrieves the local axis angles for a point object.

Retrieves the unique name of a point object, given the label and story level

Retrieves the names of all defined point objects.

Retrieves the names of the defined point objects on a given story.

Retrieves the restraint assignments for a point object. The restraint assignments are always returned in the point local coordinate system.

Retrieves uncoupled spring stiffness assignments for a point object, that is, it retrieves the diagonal terms in the 6x6 spring matrix for the point object.

Assigns a diaphragm to a point object

Adds or removes point objects from a specified group.

Sets the GUID for specified point object. If the GUID is passed in as a blank string, the program automatically creates a GUID for the object.

Makes ground displacement load assignments to point objects.

Makes point force load assignments to point objects.

Assigns the restraint assignments for a point object. The restraint assignments are always set in the point local coordinate system.

Sets the selected status for a point object.

Sets the special point status for a point object.

Assigns coupled springs to a point object.
