Modifies the slideline type for the given loadcase and all subsequent loadcases. Typically a slideline might be defined with a starting type of 'Null' and then be modified at a certain point in the analysis to be of type 'Sliding'. It is quite legal to call this function repeatedly, setting up (for example) a change from 'Null' to 'Sliding' to 'Tied'
| loadcase | loadcase | The name or ID of a loadcase, or a pointer to a Loadcase object. Loadcase at which slideline type changes |
| type | string | 'No friction', 'Friction', 'Null','Tied', or 'Sliding' |
| Return value | Pointer to this object | Allows multiple function calls to be chained together |
