Pattern

class compas_fea2.problem.Pattern

Bases: FEAData

A pattern is the spatial distribution of a specific set of forces, displacements, temperatures, and other effects which act on a structure. Any combination of nodes and elements may be subjected to loading and kinematic conditions.

Parameters:

loadcompas_fea2.problem._Load | compas_fea2.problem.GeneralDisplacement

The load/displacement assigned to the pattern.

distributionlist

List of compas_fea2.model.Node or compas_fea2.model._Element. The application in space of the load/displacement.

load_caseobject, optional

The load case to which this pattern belongs.

axesstr, optional

Coordinate system for the load components. Default is “global”.

namestr, optional

Unique identifier for the pattern.

Attributes:

loadcompas_fea2.problem._Load

The load of the pattern.

distributionlist

List of compas_fea2.model.Node or compas_fea2.model._Element.

namestr

Unique identifier.

Notes

Patterns are registered to a compas_fea2.problem._Step.
