ModelElement Properties

The ModelElement type exposes the following members.

Properties
  NameDescription
Protected propertybuilder_element
Gets the raw element from where the base data comes.
Public propertycanBuckle
Gets a value indicating whether buckling is considered when doing cross section optimization or calculating the utilization.
Public propertycolor
Gets or sets the color of the element for some types of rendering. Can be set with a ElemSets-component.
Public propertycolorIsSet
Gets a value indicating whether the element has a color attached.
Public propertycrosec
Gets or sets the cross section of the model element.
Public propertyecce
Gets the elements eccentricity.
Public propertyecce_glo
Gets the vector of global cross section eccentricity.
Public propertyecce_loc
Gets the vector of local cross section eccentricity.
Public propertyElem_loads
Gets the elements loads.
Public propertyfe_id
Gets the 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.
Public propertyfe_ind_begin
Gets the first element index in fe-model. in case of shells there may be more than one finite element connected to a model element.
Public propertyfe_ind_end
Gets the index of element in femodel that lies one entry beyond the last finite element of the model element.
Public propertyfe_node_ind
Gets the index of fe-nodes of fe-elements in fe-model. Can differ from node_ind in case of joints.
Public propertyhasEccent
Gets a value indicating whether a cross section has an eccentricity.
Public propertyid
Gets the identifier (name) of element.
Public propertyind
Gets the zero-based index of element in model. The indexes are consecutively numbered from 0 to number of elements.
Public propertyis_visible
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the element is visible.
Public propertyIsActive
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the element is active. 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.
Public propertynII
Gets or sets the normal force that induces ThII effects.
Public propertynode_inds
Gets the index of nodes of elements after assembly.
Public propertyx_ori
Gets the user defined local x-axis of the element (not including the additional rotation angle alpha).
Public propertyx_ori_given
Gets a value indicating whether a user defined local x-axis is given.
Public propertyx_ori_list
Gets the user defined local x-axes of the element (not including the additional rotation angle alpha).
Public propertyy_ori
Gets the user defined local y-axis of the element (not including the additional rotation angle alpha).
Public propertyy_ori_given
Gets a value indicating whether a user defined local z-axis is given.
Public propertyz_ori
Gets the user defined local z-axis of the element (not including the additional rotation angle alpha).
Public propertyz_ori_given
Gets a value indicating whether a user defined local z-axis is given.
Public propertyz_ori_list
Gets the user defined local z-axes of the element (not including the additional rotation angle alpha).
