Result Cases

For any of the analyses performed by Multiframe, the ResultCase object encapsulates a single set of data describing the displacements of a frame and the resulting actions within its members. For a linear or non-linear static analysis, the ResultCase object contains the results for the analysis of a single load case. A collection of ResultCase objects is stored by each of the LinearResults and NonlinearResults objects, each item in these collections corresponds directly to the results from the analysis of each load case applied to the model. The modal analysis results, stored in the ModalAnalysis object, are also contained within a ResultCases object. In this case, each item in the collection corresponds to a single mode. The properties of the ResultCase object are listed below.

Property	Type	Description
Analysis	mfAnalysisType	Read Only. Returns the type of analysis used to generate the results.
Application	Application	Read Only. Returns a reference to the parent application.
ElementResults	ElementResults	Read Only. Returns a reference to the object that contains the results for the elements in the frame.
Frame	Frame	Read Only. Returns a reference to the parent frame object.
Index	Long	Read Only. Returns the index of the case.
MemberResults	MemberResults	Read Only. Returns a reference to the object that contains the results for the members in the frame.
Name	String	Read Only. Returns the name of the case.
NodeResults	NodeResults	Read Only. Returns a reference to the object that contains the results for the nodes in the frame.
Number	Long	Read Only. Same as Index property.
Solved	Boolean	Read Only. Returns true if the results for this case have been solved for.

The results at each node in the frame are stored as a collection of NodeResult object. Similarly the results for each element and member are stored in collections of ElementResult and MemberResult objects. These three collections are reference from the ResultCase object via the properties NodeResults, ElementResults and MemberResults.

The Solved property of the ResultCase object is a Boolean property that returns true if the results of this case have been computed.
