ModifierBeam Properties |
The ModifierBeam type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | bending_stiff |
setter/getter for bending stiffness (turns beams into trusses and vice versa)
(Overrides BuilderElementbending_stiff.) |
| canBuckle |
returns list of nodal indexes or null
(Overrides BuilderElementcanBuckle.) |
| color |
user defined color of the beam-set
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| crosec |
return cross section of the element
(Overrides BuilderBeamcrosec.) |
| Ecce |
nodal eccentricity of the element
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| ecce_glo |
set/get eccentricity which is defined in the global coordinate system
(Overrides BuilderElementecce_glo.) |
| ecce_loc |
sets/gets eccentricity which is local to the element and can be separately set for each of them.
The other types of eccentricity would be either attached to a cross section or oriented globally
(Overrides BuilderElementecce_loc.) |
| hasEccent |
getter for flag which is true if element eccentricity is present
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| id |
set/get identifier (name) of the element
(Overrides BuilderElementid.) |
| is_active |
set/get activation state of the element. If not active, the elements stiffness is reduced
to such a degree that it does not influence results any more (soft-kill approach). The small
remaining stiffness should however suffice to keep the system from becoming numerically
kinematic.
(Overrides BuilderElementis_active.) |
| is_valid |
true if the builder element is valid
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine.) |
| is_visible |
set/get visibility of the element: true if the element is visible on the canvas
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| IsValid |
true if the element is valid
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| modified_height |
set gets the cross section height (depth) modification factor of the this element. Can
be set in a GH definition with the ModifyBeam-component
(Overrides BuilderElementmodified_height.) |
| modified_thick |
set gets the cross section wall thickness modification factor of the this element. Can
be set in a GH definition with the ModifyBeam-component
(Overrides BuilderElementmodified_thick.) |
| nII |
returns list of nodal indexes or null
(Overrides BuilderElementnII.) |
| Ori |
orientation of the element
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| parent_ind |
index of parent element from which this element may inherit its properties
(material, cross section,...)
A negative value signals that there is no parent;
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| Pos |
position of the element
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| zg |
set distance of transverse load from center of shear.
Is positive if the load points towards the center of shear.
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine.) |
