Node
[source]¶ A class representing a structural node.
Parameters: - name : str
A unique name for the node.
- x, y, z : float
The x, y, and z coordinates of the node.
- symmetry : {None, ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘xy’}
The symmetry of the node.
- fx_free, fy_free, fz_free : bool
The force fixities of the node in the x, y, and z directions.
- mx_free, my_free, mz_free : bool
The moment fixities of the node about the x, y, and z axes.
Methods
copy
(self)Returns a copy of the node. f_fixed
(self)Sets the node force reactions to fixed. fixed
(self)Sets the node force and moment reactions to fixed. fixities
(self)Returns the force and moment fixities for the node. m_fixed
(self)Sets the node moment reactions to fixed. sym_nodes
(self)Returns the symmetric nodes for the node.
