5.9. Plot Vertical Displacement

planesections.postprocess.plot.plotRotation(beam: Beam, scale=1000, yunit='mRad', **kwargs)[source]

Plots the rotation of a beam. Each node will contain the relevant dispancement information. Analysis must be run on the beam prior to plotting.

Parameters:

  • beam (Beam) – The beam to plot internal forces with. The analysis must be run.

  • index (int) – The type of response to plot, can have value 0:ux, 1: uy 2: rotation.

  • scale (float, optional) – The scale to apply to y values of the plot. The default is 0.001.

  • xunit (str, optional) – The xunit for the plot labels. The default is m.

  • yunit (str, optional) – The yunit for the plot labels. The default is mm.

  • showAxis (bool, optional) – Turns on or off the axis.

  • showGrid (bool, optional) – Turns on or off the grid.

  • labelPlot (bool, optional) – Turns on or off the plot labels.

  • fig (bool, optional) – A existing figure to use in the plot.

  • ax (bool, optional) – A existing axis to use in the plot.

Returns:

  • fig (matplotlib fig)

  • ax (matplotlib ax)

  • line (matplotlib line) – the plotted line.
