Karamba.Elements Namespace |
Contains classes for creating finite elements like beams, trusses, shells and membranes.
There are Builder-classes and Model-Classes. The former are used for building up a model.
They are the type of objects which populate the Grasshopper definition and team up to
assemble a model.
The Model-classes are part of a K3D-model and keep a connection to their counterparts in the c++ model.
They are also used to retrieve results.
Classes| Class | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | BuilderBeam |
Represents a beam or truss element which lives in the a GH definition.
|
| BuilderElement |
Represents an element which lives in the a GH definition.
GrasssElement is the base class of generic containers for element data generated by the GH definition.
In Assemble it gets converted to Beams, Springs,...
|
| BuilderElementOrientation |
provider for element orientations for building elements
|
| BuilderElementPosition |
class for reading element positions
|
| BuilderElementPositionByIndexes |
Represents an elements position in space
|
| BuilderElementPositionByPoints |
Represents an elements position in space
|
| BuilderElementShellOrientation |
Reader for shell orientations for building shells
|
| BuilderElementStraightLine |
Abstract base class of straight linear elements like GrassBeams or GrassTrusses that live in a GH definition
|
| BuilderElementStraightLineOrientation |
Reader for straight-line elements (beams, trusses) orientations for building them
|
| BuilderShell |
Shell element that lives in a GH definition.
|
| ElementEccentricity |
represents the eccentricity of a node
|
| ElementStates |
Structure that contains state information of an element
|
| ElemSet |
Defines sets of elements.
|
| IdManager |
Relates string identifiers (id) to numerical identifiers (id_num)
one id may relate to only one id_num
one id_num may relate to several ids. The first name of the id_num is the first id and so on
|
| IndexToBeam |
Creates beams from node indexes
|
| ItemSelector |
Selects elements by index, identifier or regular expression.
For mappings from regular expression to element the enlisted string has to start with "&"
|
| LineToBeam |
Converts lines to beams
|
| ListMatcher |
Matches a search string against a list of strings. The search string may contain a regular expression.
Regular expressions start with "&"
|
| MeshToShell |
Constructs shells from meshes
|
| ModelBeam |
Beam element that lives in a statical model
|
| ModelElement |
Base class of all elements that derive from GH objects and are part of statical models
|
| ModelElementStraightLine |
Abstract base class of straight linear elements like ModelBeams or ModelShellsrassTrusses that live in a statical model
|
| ModelElementVisitor |
Base class of element visitors. Does nothing by default.
|
| ModelShell |
Shell element that lives in a statical model.
|
| ModelSpring |
Spring element that lives in a statical model. is defined by its six spring stiffnesses and orientation
|
| ModelTruss |
Truss element that lives in a statical model
|
| ModifierBeam |
Represents a beam element which modifies other beam elements when being assembled to a model
|
| ModifierShell |
Represents a beam element which modifies other beam elements when being assembled to a model
|
