The function vis_GPropValueFlag is used to determine if a property has been defined.
Each property has an associated data type, integer, character or real. There is assumed to be a single property value unless the C-language style dimensions are indicated. The full set of global properties are the following:
SYS_XYPLANE, xy plane SYS_XZPLANE, xz plane
SYS_XAXIS, x axis SYS_YAXIS, y axis SYS_ZAXIS, z axis
SYS_PLANESTRAIN, plane strain SYS_PLANESTRESS, plane stress SYS_AXISYMMETRIC, axisymmetric SYS_AXISYMFOURIER, axisymmetric with Fourier modes

Each user defined property is a multidimensional array of integer, real or character values. Specify the number of dimensions using GPROP_USERDIMENUM and the size of each dimension using GPROP_USERDIME. The name of the user defined property is entered using GPROP_USERNAME. The datatype is specified using GPROP_USERDATATYPE and must be one of the values SYS_INTEGER, SYS_REAL and SYS_CHAR. A character valued user defined property must be a single dimension in which the dimension size is the length of the character data. The data associated with a user defined property is entered with GPROP_USERDATA. The number of data items required is the product of the specified dimensions.

As an option to explicitly entering real values for a particular element property, an identifier may be associated with the property using vis_EPropSetValueId. This is useful when the element property values are not constant but instead are a function of an independent variable such as temperature. The function vis_EPropValueFlag is used to determine how a real valued element property has been defined, if at all. There are three possibilities: 1) not defined, 2) values defined and 3) identifier defined. If a property is defined using vis_EPropSetValuef or vis_EPropSetValuefv it is value defined, if it is defined using vis_EPropSetValueId it is identifier defined.
Currently supported element property classes are:
SYS_DOF_TX, translation in x direction SYS_DOF_TY, translation in y direction SYS_DOF_TZ, translation in z direction SYS_DOF_RX, rotation in x direction SYS_DOF_RY, rotation in y direction SYS_DOF_RZ, rotation in z direction SYS_DOF_TEMP, temperature

The analysis type specifies the basic analysis domain such as structural, thermal, fluid, etc. The analysis type is set using vis_RPropSetAnalysis. The solution type specifies problem domain such as static, transient, vibration, buckling, etc. The solution type is set using vis_RPropSetSolution. The mode type is set using vis_RPropSetMode. The mode type is used to disambiguate various result quantities which may be generated during a specific analysis and solution type. The numeric identifiers indicate time step number, vibration mode number, subcase id, etc. The numeric identifiers are interpreted differently depending upon the type of analysis that produced the results. The numeric identifiers are set using vis_RPropSetIds. If the dataset contains imaginary or phase data, then the complex flag should be enabled using vis_RPropSetCplx. If the dataset is a history result, then the history flag should be enabled using vis_RPropSetHist.
In addition to the primary results, additional, result dependent, properties such as frequency, load factor, time, etc. may be specified. Set integer or real valued results properties using vis_RPropSetValuei, vis_RPropSetValueiv, vis_RPropSetValuef, vis_RPropSetValuefv, vis_RPropSetValued or vis_RPropSetValuedv. Specify character valued properties using vis_RPropSetValuec. Each property type is identified by a defined constant. The user queries for the number and type of properties defined using vis_RPropValueType. The data type and number of components associated with a property type is queried using vis_RPropValueParams. A long descriptive name which is hard-wired to each property type may be queried using vis_RPropValueName. Finally the property values themselves may be recovered using vis_RPropValueInteger, vis_RPropValueFloat, vis_RPropValueDouble or vis_RPropValueString.
If the RProp object is being used in conjunction with the VdmTools library, then each RProp object is mapped to a dataset and of the result dependent properties are mapped to dataset attributes. The full set of additional properties are as follows. The VdmTools dataset attribute name is shown in parentheses.

The functions associated with a UProp object are the following.
*vis_UPropBegin - create an instance of a UProp object vis_UPropEnd - destroy an instance of a UProp object vis_UPropError - return UProp object error flag
vis_UPropSetType - set property name, dimension and data type GetType - get property name, dimension and data type vis_UPropSetValuei - set integer property vis_UPropSetValueiv - set integer properties vis_UPropSetValuef - set real valued property vis_UPropSetValuefv - set real valued properties vis_UPropNum - query number of user defined properties vis_UPropValueFloat - query defined property float value vis_UPropValueInteger - query defined property integer value vis_UPropValueDouble - query defined property double value vis_UPropValueString - query defined property character value
The property specifications for a particular identifier may be queried using vis_UPropGetType. The property values themselves may be recovered using vis_UPropValueInteger, vis_UPropValueFloat, vis_UPropValueDouble or vis_UPropValueString.

None
Destroy an instance of a UProp object using
void vis_UPropEnd (vis_UProp *uprop)
Return the current value of a UProp object error flag using
Vint vis_UPropError (vis_UProp *uprop)
