1.3.4. New Euler Beam
- planesections.builder.newEulerBeam(x2, x1=0, meshSize=101, section=None, dimension='2D')[source]
Initializes a new 2D Euler beam. The beam will have no fixities or labels.
- Parameters:
x2 (float) – The end position of the beam. If no x1 is provided, this is also the length of the beam
x1 (float, optional) – The start position of the beam. The default is 0.
meshSize (int, optional) – The mesh size for the beam. This many nodes will be added between the points x1 and x2. The default is 101, which divides the beam into 100 even sections..
section (Section2D, optional) – The section to use in the anaysis. The default uses SectionBasic2D().
- Returns:
EulerBeam2D – The the beam intialized with the mesh of points between x1 and x2.
- Return type:
