SyntaxThe BuilderBeam type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | BuilderBeam |
create an empty beam builder
|
| BuilderBeam(Int32, Int32) |
Create a beam-builder from two node indexes
|
| BuilderBeam(Point3, Point3) |
Create a beam-builder from two node positions
|
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 BuilderElementcrosec.) |
| 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
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| 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.
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| is_valid |
true if the builder element is valid
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine.) |
| 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.) |
| 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
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| 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
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| 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.) |
| zg |
set distance of transverse load from center of shear.
Is positive if the load points towards the center of shear.
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine.) |
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 BuilderElementStraightLine.) |
| BucklingLength |
set buckling length in local direction
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine.) |
| BucklingLength_IsUserValue |
return true if buckling length was set by user
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine.) |
| BucklingLength_Set | (Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine.) |
| BucklingLength_SetEstimate |
sets an estimate for the buckling length in local Y-direction
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine.) |
| Clone |
clone the builder-element
(Overrides BuilderElementClone.) |
| Clone(ModelElement) |
clone grass-element and link it to a given model element.
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| Copy(BuilderElement) |
copy contents of another grass-element
(Inherited from BuilderElement.) |
| Copy(BuilderElementStraightLine) |
fill object with data from another straight line element
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine.) |
| disassembleElement |
Disassemble an element into its constituents
(Overrides BuilderElementStraightLinedisassembleElement(IReadOnlyListPoint3, Line3, CroSec, ListDouble, FemMaterial, Vector3, Vector3, Plane3, NullableVector3, NullableVector3, NullableVector3, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, NullableVector3, MessageLogger).) |
| 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.) |
| 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 BuilderElementStraightLine.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Overrides ObjectToString.) |
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 |
 | joint |
joint definition applied to the beams endpoints
