    SAP2000 API

    I have put together an EXCEL VBA macro that creates a small SAP2000 V17 model. When I save the model and attempt to run SAP I get an error that reads "ERROR DIVIDING LINE ELEMENTS", and the only way I can close SAP at this point is to "END TASK" through the task manager window. the file then...

    PGSuper output

    In the output, where it gives “Total Girderline Reaction” on the pier or abutment, is the Distribution Factor already applied or should it be applied by the user???? The wording is confusing me where it says reaction is “per Lane” when LLDF is applied the value should really be "Lanes per...

    O-Cell Top-Down Correction for Pile compression

    I'll appreciate any help to clarify how the pile PL/AE is incorporated into the top-down curve constructed from O-Cell data. how do you choose "L" at various loadings? is it where the given load mobilizes along the shaft? many thanks

When I open it on my laptop all the Vertical page brakes are where I want them to be. the "Print Preview" displays all the colors and lines..etc. However, when I open the very same file on my home desktop the page size is larger than the breakes and...

    Can I save a spreadsheet without the VBA code?

    with your original file open, open a new excel file. in the new file go to tool--macros and click run macros. your original macro in the OPEN ORIGINAL FILE will show up. run it and save your new file with what ever name you want. close your original file

    ACI 318-05 versus 318-02

    buening, Buy the ACI Code. AASHTO's concrete section is adopted almost exactly from ACI. You might have noticed a footnote on the first page of section 8 of the Standard Specs that reffers you to ACI for what may be missing like Torsion or deep beam design. LRFD spaecs, section 5, are more...

    Locating the Row Number of PageBreak

    Thanks yogia, I tried it. It gives me a message that "Subscript Out Of Range". I am trying to use it in a loop so when the code reaches a page break on the sheet it will skip the following 2 (or n) rows and go back to doing what it, hopefully, is supposed to. Thanks again, I'll keep at it. FM

    Locating the Row Number of PageBreak

    How can I locate where the horizontal page break is using a VBA code. In other word, I am trying to find where ActiviSheet.HPageBreaks(2).Location is. When you set up the page break the syntax is ActiviSheet.HPageBreaks(2).Location = Range(Col, Row) Col is always "A" I want my macro to...
