Syntax

GetNodeReaction (string DatabaseName, int TimeIndex, int ConstrainedNodeIndex, intDOFNo)

Parameters

DatabaseName (character string). The full path name to the relevant database.

TimeIndex (integer). The relevant time index.

ConstrainedNodeIndex (integer). The relevant node index in the boundary condition array.

DOFNo (integer). The Degree of Freedom (1 to 6).

Error Codes

-9999998 (if the specified database is invalid)

-9999999 (if the requested value cannot be retrieved from the database)
