Dear sir,
I am trying to develop a VBA macro in Excel in order to retrieve supports reactions from Staad Pro (v20.07.11.82).
The following code is used, with OpenSTAAD functions in bold:
'Staad Object and Results opening
'=================================
'Get the application object
Set objOpenSTAAD = GetObject(, "StaadPro.OpenSTAAD")
'
'Counting support nodes
'======================
iSupportCount = objOpenSTAAD.Support.GetSupportCount
ReDim lSupportNodesArray(0 To (iSupportCount - 1)) As Long
objOpenSTAAD.Support.GetSupportNodes lSupportNodesArray
'
'Filling Foundation loads table
'==============================
For i = 0 To UBound(lSupportNodesArray)
Cells(Ligne1 + i * 3, Colonne1).Value = lSupportNodesArray(i)
For j = 3 To 3 + lPrimaryLoadCaseCount - 1
objOpenSTAAD.Output.GetSupportReactions lSupportNodesArray(i), Cells(4, j).Value, dReactionArray
Cells(3 * i + 5, j).Value = dReactionArray(1) * 4.4482216
Cells(3 * i + 6, j).Value = -dReactionArray(0) * 4.4482216
Cells(3 * i + 7, j).Value = -dReactionArray(2) * 4.4482216
Next
Next
The Supports Applications functions GetSupportCount and GetSupportNodes are working properly: I am retrieving correctly the nodes numbers, so Excel is properly communicating with Staad. But the result function GetSupportReactions does not work: the array created is filled with zero values, while results are available. Is there a mistake in the code?
Thanks in advance for your help.
