Properties

	Name	Description
	bending_stiff	setter/getter for bending stiffness (turns beams into trusses and vice versa) (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	canBuckle	returns list of nodal indexes or null (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	color	user defined color of the beam-set (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	crosec	return cross section of the element (Overrides BuilderShellcrosec.)
	Ecce	nodal eccentricity of the element (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	ecce_glo	set/get eccentricity which is defined in the global coordinate system (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	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 (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	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 BuilderElement.)
	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.)
	mesh	(Inherited from BuilderShell.)
	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 (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	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.)
	xOriList
	zOriList

Methods

	Name	Description
	accepts	returns true if the given cross section can be applied to the element. Returns false if you test e.g. a shell cross section against a beam element. (Inherited from BuilderShell.)
	area	calculate area of the mesh (Inherited from BuilderShell.)
	Clone	clone the builder-element (Overrides BuilderShellClone.)
	Clone(ModelElement)	clone grass-element and link it to a given model element. (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	Copy	copy contents of another grass-element (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	disassembleElement	Disassemble an element into its constituents (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	modify	modify the properties of the given element elem if they have been modified in the agent
	parent_inds	return the indexes of all parents of the element (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	snapElement	change the element if nodes snap together according to the given list of node indexes. returns true if the element was completely snapped (Inherited from BuilderShell.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Overrides BuilderShellToString.)

Fields

	Name	Description
	_color	user defined color of the beam-set (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	_eccentricity	nodal eccentricity of the element (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	_id	user given identification (name) of element (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	_orientation	orientation of the element (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	_position	position of the element (Inherited from BuilderElement.)
	crosec_	the elements cross section (Inherited from BuilderShell.)
