◆ EvaluateSectionDisplacement()
|
pure virtual |
Gets the xyz displacement of a point on the shell, and the rotation RxRyRz of section reference, at parametric coordinates 'u' and 'v'.
Note, u=-1..+1 , v= -1..+1 parametric coordinates, except if triangular shell, where u=0..+1, v=0..+1, natural triangle coords. Results are not corotated.
Implemented in chrono::fea::ChElementShellReissner4, chrono::fea::ChElementShellBST, chrono::fea::ChElementShellANCF_8, and chrono::fea::ChElementShellANCF.
