Syntax
Copy
int GetOConcrete(
	string Name,
	ref double Fc,
	ref bool IsLightweight,
	ref double FcsFactor,
	ref int SSType,

)

Parameters

Name
Type: SystemString
The name of an existing concrete material property.
Fc
Type: SystemDouble
IsLightweight
Type: SystemBoolean
If this item is True, the concrete is assumed to be lightweight concrete.
FcsFactor
Type: SystemDouble
SSType
Type: SystemInt32
This is 0, 1 or 2, indicating the stress-strain hysteresis type.
ValueSSType
0User defined
1Parametric - Simple
2Parametric - Mander
SSHysType
Type: SystemInt32
This is 0 through 7, indicating the stress-strain curve type.
ValueSSHysType
0Elastic
1Kinematic
2Takeda
3Pivot
4Concrete
5BRB Hardening
6Degrading
7Isotropic
StrainAtFc
Type: SystemDouble
StrainUltimate
Type: SystemDouble
This item applies only to parametric stress-strain curves. It is the ultimate unconfined strain capacity. This item must be larger than the StrainAtfc item
FrictionAngle
Type: SystemDouble
The Drucker-Prager friction angle. This item must be smaller or equal to 0 and less than 90. [deg]
DilatationalAngle
Type: SystemDouble
The Drucker-Prager dilatational angle. This item must be smaller or equal to 0 and less than 90. [deg]
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.
