Description

Simplified geometry for a 'cable' beam section in 3D, that is a beam without torsional stiffness and with circular section (i.e.same Ixx and Iyy properties).

This material can be shared between multiple beams.

Public Member Functions
void	SetArea (const double ma)
	Set the cross sectional area A of the beam (m^2)

double	GetArea () const

void	SetI (double ma)
	Set the I moment of inertia of the beam (for flexion about y axis or z axis) Note: since this simple section assumes circular section, Iyy=Izz=I.

double	GetI () const

void	SetDiameter (double diameter)
	Shortcut: set Area and I inertia at once, given the diameter of the beam assumed with circular shape.

void	SetDensity (double md)
	Set the density of the beam (kg/m^3)

double	GetDensity () const

void	SetYoungModulus (double mE)
	Set E, the Young elastic modulus (N/m^2)

double	GetYoungModulus () const

void	SetBeamRaleyghDamping (double mr)
	Set the Rayleigh damping ratio r (as in: R = r * K ), to do: also mass-proportional term.

double	GetBeamRaleyghDamping ()

Public Member Functions inherited from chrono::fea::ChBeamSection
void	SetDrawShape (std::shared_ptr< ChBeamSectionShape > mshape)
	Set the graphical representation for this section. More...

std::shared_ptr< ChBeamSectionShape >	GetDrawShape () const
	Get the drawing shape of this section (i.e.a 2D profile used for drawing 3D tesselation and visualization) By default a thin square section, use SetDrawShape() to change it.

void	SetDrawThickness (double thickness_y, double thickness_z)
	Shortcut: adds a ChBeamSectionShapeRectangular for visualization as a centered rectangular beam, and sets its width/height. More...

void	SetDrawCircularRadius (double draw_rad)
	Shortcut: adds a ChBeamSectionShapeCircular for visualization as a centered circular beam, and sets its radius. More...

void	SetCircular (bool ic)
	OBSOLETE only for backward compability
