cModel.SetUseStress

Member of: SynthesisAPI9.cModel

For ALTA models only. Sets the use stress level for one or multiple stresses for subsequent calculations.

Syntax

.SetUseStress(Index, StressValue)
.SetUseStress(StressValues())

Parameters

Index

Required. Integer. The 0-based index of the stress for which the use stress level will be updated.

StressValue

Required. Double. The value to use for the use stress level.

StressValues()

Required. Double. An array of new use stress values that correspond to the array of stresses in the model (e.g., the first stress value will become the use stress level for the first stress).

Example

This example assumes that a model with ID #47 exists in the first available project of a repository.

VB.NET

 'Add code to connect to a Synthesis repository. 
  Dim MyRepository As New Repository
  ... 

 
 'Get ALTA model #47 from project #1. 
 Dim AModel As cModel
 MyRepository.Project.SetCurrentProject(1)  
 AModel = MyRepository.Model.GetModel(47)

 'Get the number of stresses in the model. 
 Dim MyNumStresses As Integer
 MyNumStresses = AModel.NumStresses 

 'Assume that the number of stresses in this example is 2. 
 'Set the use stress values for each of the stresses. 
 Dim UseStressArray(MyNumStresses-1) As Double
 UseStressArray(0) = 500
 UseStressArray(1) = 750

 'Set the use stress values for the model.  
 AModel.SetUseStress(UseStressArray)

 'Calculations using the specified stress values are now possible. For example, 
 'the following code returns the model's reliability at 100 hrs 
 'at the specified use stress levels. 
 Dim ResultValue As Double
 ResultValue = AModel.Reliability(100)
