Hinge

Define a Hinge material, assigned to plate hinges with set_hinge_2d / set_hinge_3d.

Parameters

name : str: String naming the material.
color : Color: Material appearance. color=rgb(96,96,96)
moment : float: Plastic moment m_p, in kNm/m.
use_rotational_stiffness : str: Apply the rotational stiffness k. use_rotational_stiffness= 'yes' or 'no'
k : float: Rotational stiffness, in kNm/m/rad. Used when use_rotational_stiffness is 'yes'.

Examples

model2d.add_rectangle([0,0],[2,2])
model2d.add_line([1,0],[1,2])
model2d.set_plate(model2d.select([1,1],types='edge'), prj.RigidPlate(name='Plate'))
HingeMaterial = prj.Hinge(name='Hinge Material',
                              color=rgb(96,96,96),
                              moment=50,
                              use_rotational_stiffness='yes',
                              k=1000)
model2d.set_hinge_2d(model2d.select([1,2],types='vertex'),
                         material=HingeMaterial)
