civpy.structures.Node

class civpy.structures.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.
