Connector

Define a Connector material.

Parameters

name : str: String naming the material.
color : Color: Material appearance. color= rgb(29,163,30)
yield_force : float: Yield force, in kN.
EA : float: Normal stifness, in kN.
spacing : float: Spacing, in m.
reducible_strength : str: Apply reducible strength. reducible_strength = 'yes' or 'no'

Examples

i = 19
model2d.add_rectangle([i,0],[i+1,2])
Face = model2d.select(p0=[i+0.5,1],types='face')
ConnectorMaterial = prj.Connector(name='ConnectorMaterial',
                                        color=rgb(29,163,30),
                                        yield_force=300,
                                        EA=200000,
                                        spacing= 2,
                                        reducible_strength='yes',
                                        )
model2d.set_solid(shapes=Face,material=ConnectorMaterial)
