◆ GetNormals()

virtual void chrono::fea::ChBeamSectionShapeRectangular::GetNormals	(	unsigned int	i_line,
		std::vector< ChVector3d > &	mnormals
	)		const

inlineoverridevirtual

Compute the normals (in the reference of the section) at each point.

Note: mnormals must already have the proper size.

Implements chrono::fea::ChBeamSectionShape.

◆ GetNumLines()

virtual unsigned int chrono::fea::ChBeamSectionShapeRectangular::GetNumLines ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Get the number of lines making the profile of the section, for meshing purposes.

C0 continuity is required between lines, C1 also required within each line. Ex. a circle has 1 line, a cube 4 lines, etc. Sharp corners can be done mith multiple lines.

Implements chrono::fea::ChBeamSectionShape.
