CroSec_Spring Class

construct a spring cross section

create a cross section with given name, family and country without default properties

stiffnesses of the spring

user defined color of the cross section

cross section dimensions

set/get local eccentricity of cross section

return list of element identifiers to which the cross section is to be attached.

set/get the family of the cross section

unique identifier of cross section. Excluded country in order to avoid problems in case of user defined families which consist of cross sections of different countries

GUID of the cross section

return true of cross section has a locally defined eccentricity

return true of the cross section is valid (has e.g. non-zero area)

set/get material of the element

name of the basic material attached to the cross section

set/get the name of the cross section

number of dimensional

return the number of properties of the cross section

default cross section properties

indicates whether a cross section is user-defined or generated (e.g. a default material)

distance of center of shear from upper section boundary

distance of center of gravity from upper section boundary

accept a cross section visitor

add this cross section to fe-model

add an element identifier to the list of element identifiers which define to which elements the cross SectionForce shall be attached in the course of assemblage.

calculate cross-section properties from given geometry

empty the list of identifiers to which the cross section shall be attached.

shallow clone the cross section

clone the list of identifiers to which the cross section is to be attached. Needs to be done before it is changed in order to avoid side-effects in GH-definitions.

test whether cross section has zero resisting moment or area for cross section design

return the cross sections default guid

set the material based on the material identifier and a mapping from material identifiers to indexes

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

return cross section index of sub cross section in the finite element model

create fe-cross-sections from default cross section

create fe-cross-section for given height with family-index 0

create fe-cross-sections

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Serves as the default hash function.

return the height of the cross section. Is useful for shell-elements which can thus also use beam-cross sections

returns the height of a sub-cross section in case of composite cross sections

get thickness of cross section

Gets the Type of the current instance.

constructs a list of heights associated with the cross section. Can be time-consuming. For single item access use getHeight(index)

returns true if cross section has default properties

test whether the cross section matches one of the identifiers given in the list of indexes

test whether the cross section matches one of the identifiers given in the list of indexes

return the maximum width of the cross section or -1 in case this does not make sense (for e.g. shell cross sections)

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

determine extreme strains in cross-section

modify the local eccentricity in Z-direction

modify the height of the cross section

modify the heights of the cross section

modifies the thickness of a cross section

Read cross section data from reader

reads cross section data from given table row

create new GUID for the cross section

set new GUID for the cross section

set default dimensions of cross section

set the material identifier and the material reference of the cross section

set the material identifiers and the material references of the cross section. Sets material of layer 0 in case of shells.

returns the shape indicator of a cross section (for e.g. reading data from a table). This can be e.g. 'O', 'I', 'T', '[]',...

add vertices on cross-section to mesh and corresponding colors origin is the point on the element axis, axis the local coordinate system, cmap contains the information for coloring points and n_faces the number of points to be calculated

return list of group-sizes of faces that form one geometric entity. Enables cross-section sketches to consist of more than one connected surface. By default there is only one group.

calculate characteristic axial- and bending stiffness of an element of length L

Returns a string that represents the current object.

render cross section data as string for output.

return value of trait with given index

Write cross section data contained to a reader

generate value of property info as a string which can be used in a cross section table

country in which the cross section is in use

eccentricity of the cross section

id/regular expressions of element identifiers to which the cross section applies

unique identifier of a group of cross sections within a country

identification number of cross section in the fe-model

GUID of the cross section

true if there is an eccentricity defined for the cross section

unique identifier of a cross section within a family

indicates whether a cross section is user-defined or generated (e.g. a default material)
