ModelBeam Properties |
The ModelBeam type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | bending_stiff |
true if the element has a bending stiffness
(Inherited from ModelTruss.) |
 | builder_element | raw element from where the base data comes (Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| canBuckle |
if true buckling is considered when doing cross section optimization or calculating
the utilization
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| color |
color of the element for some types of rendering. Can be set with a ElemSets-component
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| colorIsSet |
return true if the element has a color attached
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| crosec |
set/get cross section of the model element
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| ecce |
return the elements eccentricity
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| ecce_glo |
return vector of global cross section eccentricity
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| ecce_loc |
return vector of local cross section eccentricity
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| Elem_loads | the elements loads (Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| fe_id |
get first element index in fe-model. In case of shells there may be more than
one finite element connected to a model element and fe_id points to the shells TriMesh-object.
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| fe_ind_begin |
get first element index in fe-model. in case of shells there may be more than
one finite element connected to a model element
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| fe_ind_end |
get index of element in femodel that lies one entry beyond the last finite element of the model element.
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| fe_node_ind | index of fe-nodes of fe-elements in fe-model. Can differ from node_ind in case of joints (Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| hasEccent |
return true if cross section has an eccentricity
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| id |
return identifier (name) of element
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| ind |
zero-based index of element in model.
The indexes are consecutively numbered from 0 to number of elements.
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| is_active |
set/get activation state of the element. If inactive the element is removed from the
statical model using the soft-kill approach. The fe-model needs to be rebuilt after
manipulating this flag.
(Inherited from ModelTruss.) |
| is_visible |
return true if element is visible
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| joint |
joint definition of the element
(Inherited from ModelTruss.) |
| nII |
set get normal force that induces ThII effects
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| node_inds | index of nodes of elements after assembly (Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| res_alpha |
set/get resulting angle [radians] of rotation of the cross section about the longitudinal
element axis relative to the initial local coordinate system
(Inherited from ModelElementStraightLine.) |
| x_ori |
get the user defined local x-axis of the element
(not including the additional rotation angle alpha)
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| x_ori_given |
return true if a user defined local x-axis is given
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| x_ori_list |
get the user defined local x-axes of the element
(not including the additional rotation angle alpha)
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| y_ori |
get the user defined local y-axis of the element
(not including the additional rotation angle alpha)
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| y_ori_given |
return true if a user defined local z-axis is given
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| z_ori |
get the user defined local z-axis of the element
(not including the additional rotation angle alpha)
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| z_ori_given |
return true if a user defined local z-axis is given
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| z_ori_list |
get the user defined local z-axes of the element
(not including the additional rotation angle alpha)
(Inherited from ModelElement.) |
| zg |
Distance of transverse load and the center of shear.
Is positive if the load points towards the center of shear.
(Inherited from ModelTruss.) |
