CoordSystem defines a local coordinate system for a node. Its constructor takes two arguments:
CoordSystem('C',[0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,1.])
defines a cylindrical coordinate system with the global ElemLoad is a distributed load on an element. Its constructor takes two arguments:
ElemSection can be used to set the material and section properties on the elements. It can hold:
An example:
>>> steel = { 'name': 'steel', 'young_modulus': 207000, 'poisson_ratio': 0.3, 'density': 0.1, } >>> thin_plate = { 'name': 'thin_plate', 'sectiontype': 'solid', 'thickness': 0.01, 'material': 'steel', } >>> P.elemProp(eltype='CPS3',section=ElemSection(section=thin_plate,material=steel))
