Every function is a method of the session `s = ops.connect()` (`from openstaad import ops`).

## Get

### GetBucklingFactor

**Description**

Returns the buckling factor.

**Parameters**

- `buckling_mode_no` (int): buckling mode no.

**Returns**

float: A numeric value returned by STAAD.Pro for this call.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetBucklingFactor(1)
print(result)
```

### GetModalMassParticipationFactors

**Description**

Returns the modal mass participation factors.

**Parameters**

- `modeNo` (int): mode no.

**Returns**

tuple: A tuple of `(float, float, float)`.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetModalMassParticipationFactors(1)
print(result)
```

### GetModeFrequency

**Description**

Returns the mode frequency.

**Parameters**

- `modeNo` (int): mode no.

**Returns**

float: A numeric value returned by STAAD.Pro for this call.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetModeFrequency(1)
print(result)
```

### GetNoOfBucklingFactors

**Description**

Returns the number of the buckling factors.

**Parameters**

None.

**Returns**

raw: The raw return value from the underlying OpenSTAAD COM call. Refer to the official Bentley OpenSTAAD API reference for this method's exact return semantics.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetNoOfBucklingFactors()
print(result)
```

### GetNoOfModesExtracted

**Description**

Returns the number of the modes extracted.

**Parameters**

None.

**Returns**

raw: The raw return value from the underlying OpenSTAAD COM call. Refer to the official Bentley OpenSTAAD API reference for this method's exact return semantics.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetNoOfModesExtracted()
print(result)
```

### GetTimeHistoryIntegrationStepInfo

**Description**

Returns the time history integration step info.

**Parameters**

None.

**Returns**

tuple: A tuple of `(float, raw)`.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetTimeHistoryIntegrationStepInfo()
print(result)
```

### GetTimeHistoryResponse

**Description**

Returns the time history response.

**Parameters**

- `load_case` (int): load case.
- `node_no` (int): node no.
- `dof_no` (int): dof no.
- `response_type` (int): response type.

**Returns**

list: A list of numbers (floats).

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetTimeHistoryResponse(1, 1, 1, 1)
print(result)
```

### GetTimeHistoryResponseAtTime

**Description**

Returns the time history response at time.

**Parameters**

- `load_case` (int): load case.
- `node_no` (int): node no.
- `dof_no` (int): dof no.
- `response_type` (int): response type.
- `at_time` (float): at time.

**Returns**

tuple: A tuple of `(float, raw)`.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetTimeHistoryResponseAtTime(1, 1, 1, 1, 1.0)
print(result)
```

### GetTimeHistoryResponseMinMax

**Description**

Returns the time history response min max.

**Parameters**

- `load_case` (int): load case.
- `node_no` (int): node no.
- `dof_no` (int): dof no.
- `response_type` (int): response type.

**Returns**

tuple: A tuple of `(float, float, float, float)`.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.GetTimeHistoryResponseMinMax(1, 1, 1, 1)
print(result)
```

## Is

### AreResultsAvailable

**Description**

Checks whether results available.

**Parameters**

None.

**Returns**

bool: `True` if the call succeeded, `False` otherwise.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.AreResultsAvailable()
print(result)
```

### IsBucklingAnalysisResultsAvailable

**Description**

Checks whether buckling analysis results available.

**Parameters**

None.

**Returns**

bool: `True` if the call succeeded, `False` otherwise.

**Example**

```python
from openstaad import ops

s = ops.connect()
result = s.IsBucklingAnalysisResultsAvailable()
print(result)
```
