ModelShell Properties

The ModelShell type exposes the following members.

Properties
  NameDescription
Protected propertybuilder_element
raw element from where the base data comes
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertycanBuckle
if true buckling is considered when doing cross section optimization or calculating the utilization
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertycolor
color of the element for some types of rendering. Can be set with a ElemSets-component
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertycolorIsSet
return true if the element has a color attached
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertycrosec
set/get cross section of the model element
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyecce
return the elements eccentricity
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyecce_glo
return vector of global cross section eccentricity
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyecce_loc
return vector of local cross section eccentricity
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyElem_loads
the elements loads
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyfe_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.)
Public propertyfe_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
(Overrides ModelElementfe_ind_begin.)
Public propertyfe_ind_end
get index of element in femodel that lies one entry beyond the last finite element of the model element.
(Overrides ModelElementfe_ind_end.)
Public propertyfe_node_ind
index of fe-nodes of fe-elements in fe-model. Can differ from node_ind in case of joints
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyhasEccent
return true if cross section has an eccentricity
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyid
return identifier (name) of element
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyind
zero-based index of element in model. The indexes are consecutively numbered from 0 to number of elements.
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyis_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.
(Overrides ModelElementis_active.)
Public propertyis_visible
return true if element is visible
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertymesh
Return the mesh of the patch of shell elements
Public propertynII
set get normal force that induces ThII effects
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertynode_inds
index of nodes of elements after assembly
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyx_ori
get the user defined local x-axis of the element (not including the additional rotation angle alpha)
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyx_ori_given
return true if a user defined local x-axis is given
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyx_ori_list
get the user defined local x-axes of the element (not including the additional rotation angle alpha)
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyy_ori
get the user defined local y-axis of the element (not including the additional rotation angle alpha)
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyy_ori_given
return true if a user defined local z-axis is given
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyz_ori
get the user defined local z-axis of the element (not including the additional rotation angle alpha)
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyz_ori_given
return true if a user defined local z-axis is given
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
Public propertyz_ori_list
get the user defined local z-axes of the element (not including the additional rotation angle alpha)
(Inherited from ModelElement.)
