Hinge

Hinge -- hinge material for plates, assigned with set_hinge_2d / set_hinge_3d: plastic moment m_p and an optional rotational stiffness k.

Examples

material = project.Hinge(name='Hinge 50', moment=50,
                         use_rotational_stiffness=True, k=1000)
model.set_hinge_2d(vertices, material=material)

Properties

name : str

Material name.

color : Color

Material color.

moment : float

Plastic moment per unit length, m_p (kNm/m).

use_rotational_stiffness : bool

Whether the rotational stiffness k is applied.

k : float

Rotational stiffness per unit length (kNm/m/rad); used when use_rotational_stiffness is set.
