GeometricLine.setBeam


setBeam(A, I'yy, I'zz, I'yz, J', Asz, Asy, [ey], [ez], [section])

Specifies the defining parameters of this beam, with the values given at the beam axis. This function can be used for attributes which are assigned to lines meshed with all element types except axisymmetric and grillage.

AVariationAttr or double cross-sectional area
I'yyVariationAttr or double second moment of area about local y axis
I'zzVariationAttr or double second moment of area about local z axis
I'yzVariationAttr or double product moment of inertia
J'VariationAttr or double torsion constant
AszVariationAttr or double shear area on local yz plane in z direction
AsyVariationAttr or double shear area on local yz plane in y direction
eyoptional VariationAttr or double eccentricity in y direction
ezoptional VariationAttr or double eccentricity in z direction
sectionoptional integer Index of section for which the properties are set (e.g. for linear tapered, 0 for first end, 1 for second end); default is 0
Return valuePointer to this objectAllows multiple function calls to be chained together
