Method Syntax

• AddSuspension( ByVal Value As Double , ByVal NumberInGroup As Integer , ByRef Stress() As Object )
• AddSuspension( ByVal Value As Double , ByVal NumberInGroup As Integer , ByRef Stress1 As Object )
• AddSuspension( ByVal Value As Double , ByVal NumberInGroup As Integer , ByRef Stress1, Stress2 As Object )

Parameters

Value The suspension point in time.

NumberInGroup The number of units that were suspended at the Value time.

Stress() An array of numeric values or references to ALTAStressProfiles already entered into the ALTADataSet

       Dim sp = New ALTAStressProfile("Profile1")
       sp.RepeatCycle = True
       sp.AddSegment(1, 250)
       sp.AddSegment(2, 300)
       sp.AddSegment(3, 400)

Add values to the raw data.

       ALTADS.AddSuspension(1, 1, sp)
       ALTADS.AddSuspension(2, 1, sp)
       ALTADS.AddSuspension(3, 1, sp)

Get the number of suspensions. In this example, NumberOfSuspension will be 3.

       Dim NumberOfSuspension as Integer
       NumberOfSuspension = ALTADS.SuspensionCount
