List |
Section information.
Available options are:
Section
Identifier of cross section
Start and end section separated by
“.” (e.g. “1.2”)
“FromAxis” if curve was created by
InterpolateCurve component and lies
on an axis
|
Local Z dir |
Text / Vector |
List |
Optional direction of local z-axis
Available options are:
Vector
“FromAxis” if curve was created by
InterpolateCurve component and lies
on an axis
|
Fixation |
Text |
List |
Fixation literal to add a support
condition and describe the degrees of
freedom to block. Translational DOF
are marked with “P, rotational with
“M”. A preceding “L” fixates local
axes
Example input:
“PXPYPZ” to block all translational
DOF
“LPYPZ” for local y and z-axis
“F” for all DOF (PXPYPZMXMYMZ)
|
Hinge Start |
Text |
List |
Hinge literal to add a hinge
condition to the start of this
structural line and describe the
local degrees of freedom to release.
Valid literals are a combination of:
N, VY, VZ, MT, MY, MZ, MB
Example input:
“MYMZ” to release rotational DOF
along local Y and Z axis
|
Hinge End |
Text |
List |
Hinge literal to add a hinge
condition to the end of this
structural line and describe the
local degrees of freedom to release.
Valid literals are a combination of:
N, VY, VZ, MT, MY, MZ, MB
Example input:
“MYMZ” to release rotational DOF
along local Y and Z axis
