Hello to everyone from Europe.

I´m starting with SAP 2000 API, and I need help to create moving loads, and analysis cases. I´not able, even reading the help file. Thanks!!

Could you please post some code? What part is not working? Not enough information to help you...
 
Hello osquro, and thank you for your answer. On monday I will post some code to see it. Here, at home,, I haven´t the SAP installed.
I saw the next:
When you work with the SAP2000 windows interface to create a moving load analysis case you follow the next steps:
1.Create lane
2.Create vehicle
3.Create vehicle class
4.Create moving load analysis case, with the lane and vehicles defined

Instead, in API, the steps are not the same:
1.Create moving load analysis case
2.Create lane and assign to an existing moving load analyisis case
3.Create vehicles and assign to lane and moving load analysis case

I think that these two ways are not compatible. Wait for answers

PD: osquro, do you know what your nickname means in spanish? I think so...
 
I advanced...

What I can't do with API is to assign the lane to some frame elements.

 
I got it. I create a database with vba, then I import to my sdb object and finally I continue the program... It works
