Command.PerformPDeltaAnalysisConverge

Perform second order P-Delta analysis of the current structure and produce output with specified print option. Here the program checks whether the solution is converging as successive iterations are performed. If the successive iterations result in divergent values of displacements for a particular load case, then the iterations are discontinued for the specific load case.

VB Syntax

Command.PerformPDeltaAnalysisConverge NumberOfIteration, PrintOption

Where:

NumberOfIteration

An integer variable, which specify the no of iteration to be performed.

PrintOption

An integer variable, which specify the user’s choice of print command with P-Delta Analysis command. The values may vary as:

0 = No Print

1 = Print Load Data

2 = Print Statics Check

3 = Print Statics Load

4 = Print Mode Shapes

5 = Print Both

6 = Print All

VB Example

Dim intNumberOfIteration as Integer
Dim intPrintOption as Integer
'Get the application object --
