ModifierBeam Initializes a new instance of the ModifierBeam class. create a bem modifier.
ModifierBeam(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) Initializes a new instance of the ModifierBeam class. Deserialize ModifierBeam.

Properties

bending_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).
(Overrides BuilderElementbending_stiff)
canBuckle Gets or sets a value indicating whether can buckle.
(Overrides BuilderElementcanBuckle)
color Gets or sets user defined color of the beam-set.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
crosec Gets or sets the return cross section of the element.
(Overrides BuilderBeamcrosec)
Ecce Gets the nodal eccentricity of the element.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
ecce_glo Gets or sets eccentricity which is defined in the global coordinate system.
(Overrides BuilderElementecce_glo)
ecce_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.
(Overrides BuilderElementecce_loc)
guid Gets the the builder's identifier.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
hasEccent Gets a value indicating whether an element eccentricity is present.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
id Gets or sets the identifier (name) of the element.
(Overrides BuilderElementid)
ids_secondary Gets the secondary identifiers of the element.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
is_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.
(Overrides BuilderElementis_active)
is_valid Gets a value indicating whether the builder element is valid.
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine)
is_visible Gets or sets a value indicating whether the element is visible: true if the element is visible on the canvas.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
IsValid Gets a value indicating whether the element is valid.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
lg Gets or sets the distance of transverse load from center of shear. Is positive if the load points towards the center of shear.
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine)
modified_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.
(Overrides BuilderElementmodified_height)
modified_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.
(Overrides BuilderElementmodified_thick)
nII Gets or sets list of nodal indexes or null.
(Overrides BuilderElementnII)
Ori Gets or sets the orientation of the element.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
parent_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;.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
Pos Gets or sets the position of the element.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
UserData Gets access to the user-data dictionary.
(Inherited from CommonObject)
visibleSubelementIds Gets or sets the indexes of visible sub-elements.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)

Methods

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.

addSecondaryID Adds a secondary element identifier.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
BucklingLength set buckling length in local direction.
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine)

(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine)
BucklingLength_Set Sets the buckling length of the element.
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine)
BucklingLength_SetEstimate(Vector3) sets an estimate for the buckling length.
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine)
BucklingLength_SetEstimate(BuilderElementStraightLineBucklingDir, Double) Sets an estimate for the buckling length in local Y-direction.
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine)
Clone clone the builder-element.
(Overrides BuilderBeamClone)
Clone(ModelElement) clone grass-element and link it to a given model element.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
CloneBucklingLength clones the list of buckling length.
(Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine)
CloneSecondaryIDs clone the secondary element identifiers.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
Copy(BuilderBeam) fill object with data from another straight line element.
(Inherited from BuilderBeam)
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.
(Inherited from BuilderBeam)
Equals(BuilderElement) True if item is equal to this.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from BuilderElement)
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 BuilderElement)
GetObjectData Serializes a beam modifier.
(Overrides BuilderBeamGetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext))
GetType Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object)
HasUserData Checks whether the object has user-data attached.
(Inherited from CommonObject)
MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object)
modify Modifies 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 BuilderElementStraightLine)
ToString Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Overrides BuilderBeamToString)
