class compas_fea2.model.StrutElement

Bases: TrussElement

A truss element that resists axial compressive loads.

Inherited Methods

ToString	Converts the instance to a string.
clear_frame	Clear the local frame, reverting to GLOBAL_FRAME.
copy	Make an independent copy of the data object.
direction_cosines	Return local axes expressed as global vectors (x, y, z).
forces	Get the forces result for the element.
from_json	Construct an object of this type from a JSON file.
from_jsonstring	Construct an object of this type from a JSON string.
is_axis_aligned	Return True if local frame coincides with GLOBAL frame within tolerance.
moments	Get the moments result for the element.
plot_section
plot_stress_distribution	Plot the stress distribution along the element.
section_forces_result	Get the section forces result for the element. Parameters ---------- step : compas_fea2.model.Step The analysis step.
sha256	Compute a hash of the data for comparison during version control using the sha256 algorithm.
to_global_point	Convert a local point to the global frame.
to_global_vector	Convert a local vector to the global frame.
to_json	Convert an object to its native data representation and save it to a JSON file.
to_jsonstring	Convert an object to its native data representation and save it to a JSON string.
to_local_point	Convert a global point to the local frame.
to_local_vector	Convert a global vector to the local frame.
transform_to	Get the transformation from this object's local frame to another frame.
validate_data	Validate the data against the object's data schema.
