chrono::fea::ChBuilderVolumeBox Class Reference

Description

For testing purposes.

Utility class for creating a box filled with a 3d structured grid of hexahedral finite elements. Adding nodes and finite elements to fields and domains is up to you.

AddToDomain()

void chrono::fea::ChBuilderVolumeBox::AddToDomain

(

std::shared_ptr< ChDomain >

domain

)

After you called BuildVolume(), the builder object has populated its "nodes" and "elements" fields.

Then you need to add all the elements to the domain, and add all the the nodes to the field(s) of the domain: you can do this by yourself or use this AddDomain() shortcut.

BuildVolume()

void chrono::fea::ChBuilderVolumeBox::BuildVolume	(	const ChFrame<> &	frame,
		int	nlayers_x,
		int	nlayers_y,
		int	nlayers_z,
		double	W_x,
		double	W_y,
		double	W_z
	)

Fills a box with origin (corner) at "frame", with finite elements.

After calling this, you may want to call AddToDomain()

Parameters

frame

origin and rotation of the box being meshed
