Linear and Non-linear Results

The results of static linear analyses are accessed via the Linear property of the Results object.  This property returns a reference to a LinearResults object that contains the results for the linear analysis of each load case.  These results are stored in a ResultCases collection object, with each item in the collection corresponding directly to a load case applied to the structural model.

Description

Application

Application

Read Only.  Returns a reference to the parent application.

Cases

ResultCases

Read Only.  Returns a reference to the object that contains results at the nodes, elements and members in the frame.

Frame

Frame

Read Only.  Returns a reference to the parent frame object.

 

An identical structure is provided to access the results of non-linear static analyses.  The Nonlinear property of the Results object returns a reference of a NonlinearResults object that contains a collection of ResultCase objects, each corresponding directly to the load cases applied to the frame.

Dim myResults As Multiframe.ResultCase

With myFrame.Results

  'Get results for linear analysis of load case 3
  Set myResults = .Linear.Cases(3)

  'Get same results using Case method
  Set myResults = .Case(3, mfAnalysisStatic)

  'Get nonlinear results for load case named "DL + LL
  Set myResults=.Case("DL + LL", mfAnalysisStaticNonlinear)

End With

A ResultCase object for either a linear of non-linear analysis will exist for each load case in the model irrespective of whether the case has been analysed.  The Solved property of the ResultCase object returns a value of true if the particular case has been analysed and the results are available.
