RE: Openstaad- Get Plate Thickness

The problem is with the following variable type declaration –

Dim plateThkArray(0 To 3) As Variant

You need to define the variable type for this array as “double”, not variant. In OpenSTAAD, normally we don’t specify any variable type as variant as we have noticed few problems with this variable type. There are several OpenSTAAD functions which does not work properly if you specify the variable type incorrectly. So to extract the correct plate thickness value, modify the above mentioned line as –

Dim plateThkArray(0 To 3) As Double

This will solve the problem.
