SAP OAPI

SAP OAPI

(OP)
Hi guys,
I am working with the OAPI interface of SAP2000 using excel Macros. I would like to know if i would be able to read the length of a frame object through OAPI. I couldnt find any function that is returning the length in the help menu.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

RE: SAP OAPI

hello,
you can simply find the length of the element in the connectivity -> line connectivity menu

RE: SAP OAPI

In addition to what @gyration said, I have also done this by using an older version of the OAPI to find what nodes are at each end of the frame member, and then programmatically calculating the distance between those points.
