chrono::fea::ChBeamSectionProperties Class Referenceabstract

Description

Base class for properties of all beam sections.

A beam section can be shared between multiple beams. A beam section contains the models for elasticity, plasticity, damping, etc.

Public Member Functions

void SetDrawThickness (double thickness_y, double thickness_z)
 Sets the rectangular thickness of the beam on y and z directions, only for drawing/rendering purposes (these thickness values do NOT have any meaning at a physical level, use SetAsRectangularSection()
 
double GetDrawThicknessY ()
 
double GetDrawThicknessZ ()
 
bool IsCircular ()
 Tells if the section must be drawn as a circular section instead than default rectangular.
 
void SetCircular (bool ic)
 Set if the section must be drawn as a circular section instead than default rectangular.
 
void SetDrawCircularRadius (double draw_rad)
 Sets the radius of the beam if in 'circular section' draw mode, only for drawing/rendering purposes (this radius value do NOT have any meaning at a physical level, use ChBeamSectionBasic::SetAsCircularSection()
 
double GetDrawCircularRadius ()
 
void SetArea (const double ma)
 Set the cross sectional area A of the beam (m^2)
 
double GetArea () const
 
void SetDensity (double md)
 Set the density of the beam (kg/m^3)
 
double GetDensity () const
 
virtual void SetAsRectangularSection (double width_y, double width_z)=0
 Shortcut: set elastic and plastic constants at once, given the y and z widths of the beam assumed with rectangular shape.
 
virtual void SetAsCircularSection (double diameter)=0
 Shortcut: set elastic and plastic constants at once, given the diameter of the beam assumed with circular shape.
