RigidPart

class compas_fea2.model.RigidPart(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Rigid part.

Note

Parts are registered to a compas_fea2.model.Model.

Parameters:

name (str, optional) – Uniqe identifier. If not provided it is automatically generated. Set a name if you want a more human-readable input file.

Attributes:

• name (str) – Uniqe identifier. If not provided it is automatically generated. Set a name if you want a more human-readable input file.

• model (compas_fea2.model.Model) – The parent model of the part.

• nodes (Set[compas_fea2.model.Node]) – The nodes belonging to the part.

• materials (Set[compas_fea2.model._Material]) – The materials belonging to the part.

• sections (Set[compas_fea2.model._Section]) – The sections belonging to the part.

• elements (Set[compas_fea2.model._Element]) – The elements belonging to the part.

• releases (Set[compas_fea2.model._BeamEndRelease]) – The releases belonging to the part.

• nodesgroups (Set[compas_fea2.model.NodesGroup]) – The groups of nodes belonging to the part.

• elementsgroups (Set[compas_fea2.model.ElementsGroup]) – The groups of elements belonging to the part.

• facesgroups (Set[compas_fea2.model.FacesGroup]) – The groups of element faces belonging to the part.

• boundary_mesh (compas.datastructures.Mesh) – The outer boundary mesh enveloping the DeformablePart.

• Addtional Attributes

• ——————–

• reference_point (compas_fea2.model.Node) – A node acting as a reference point for the part, by default None. This is required if the part is rigid as it controls its movement in space.
