CroSec Methods

Accepts a cross section visitor.

add this cross section to fe-model.

add an element identifier to the list of element identifiers which define to which elements the cross SectionForce shall be attached in the course of assemblage.

calculate cross-section properties from given geometry.

Empties the list of identifiers to which the cross section shall be attached.

shallow clone the cross section.

clone the list of identifiers to which the cross section is to be attached. Needs to be done before it is changed in order to avoid side-effects in GH-definitions.

test whether cross section has zero resisting moment or area for cross section design.

Get the cross sections default guid.

set the material based on the material identifier and a mapping from material identifiers to indexes.

Return a material based on its reference or name. Add it to the list of materials if not already present.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

return cross section index of sub cross section in the finite element model.

Create fe-cross-sections from default cross section.

Create list of fe-cross-sections with default family-index 0.

Create FE-cross-sections.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Serves as the default hash function.

return the height of the cross section. Is useful for shell-elements which can thus also use beam-cross sections.

Get the height of a sub-cross section in case of composite cross sections.

Serialize CroSec.

get thickness of cross section.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

true if the object has user-data attached.

constructs a list of heights associated with the cross section. Can be time-consuming. For single item access use getHeight(index).

returns true if cross section has default properties.

test whether the cross section matches one of the identifiers given in the list of indexes.

test whether the cross section matches one of the identifiers given in the list of indexes.

return the maximum width of the cross section or -1 in case this does not make sense (for e.g. shell cross sections).

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

determine extreme strains in cross-section.

modify the local eccentricity in Z-direction.

modify the height of the cross section.

modify the heights of the cross section.

Modifies the thickness of a cross section.

Read cross section data from reader.

Reads cross section data from given table row.

create new GUID for the cross section.

set new GUID for the cross section.

Set default dimensions of cross section.

set the material identifier and the material reference of the cross section.

Sets the material identifiers and the material references of the cross section. Sets material of layer 0 in case of shells.

Get the shape indicator of a cross section (for e.g. reading data from a table). This can be e.g. 'O', 'I', 'T', '[]',...

add vertices on cross-section to mesh and corresponding colors origin is the point on the element axis, axis the local coordinate system, cmap contains the information for coloring points and n_faces the number of points to be calculated.

return a list of bool values which indicate whether the face normals of a group should be flipped.

Return list of group-sizes of faces that form one geometric entity. Enables cross-section sketches to consist of more than one connected surface. By default there is only one group.

calculate characteristic axial- and bending stiffness of an element of length L.

Render cross section data as string for output.

return value of trait with given index.

Writes cross section data contained to a reader.

generate value of property info as a string which can be used in a cross section table.
