BuilderElement Properties

The BuilderElement type exposes the following members.

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertybending_stiff
Gets or sets a value indicating whether bending stiffness is taken into account (turns beams into trusses and shells into membranes and vice versa).
Public propertycanBuckle
Gets or sets a value indicating whether can buckle.
Public propertycolor
Gets or sets user defined color of the beam-set.
Public propertycrosec
Gets or sets the return cross section of the element.
Public propertyEcce
Gets the nodal eccentricity of the element.
Public propertyecce_glo
Gets or sets eccentricity which is defined in the global coordinate system.
Public propertyecce_loc
Gets or sets 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.
Public propertyguid
Gets the the builder's identifier.
Public propertyhasEccent
Gets a value indicating whether an element eccentricity is present.
Public propertyid
Gets or sets the identifier (name) of the element.
Public propertyids_secondary
Gets the secondary identifiers of the element.
Public propertyis_active
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the element is active. 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.
Public propertyis_valid
Gets a value indicating whether the builder element is valid.
Public propertyis_visible
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the element is visible: true if the element is visible on the canvas.
Public propertyIsValid
Gets a value indicating whether the element is valid.
Public propertymodified_height
Gets or sets the cross section height (depth) modification factor of the this element. Can be set in a GH definition with the ModifyBeam-component.
Public propertymodified_thick
Gets or sets the cross section wall thickness modification factor of the this element. Can be set in a GH definition with the ModifyBeam-component.
Public propertynII
Gets or sets list of nodal indexes or null.
Public propertyOri
Gets or sets the orientation of the element.
Public propertyparent_ind
Gets or sets index of parent element from which this element may inherit its properties (material, cross section,...) A negative value signals that there is no parent;.
Public propertyPos
Gets or sets the position of the element.
Public propertyUserData
Gets access to the user-data dictionary.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
