Bases: aerosandbox.common.AeroSandboxObject

Helper class that provides a standard way to create an ABC using inheritance.

Parameters:

opti (casadi.Opti) –

add_point_load(location, force=0, bending_moment=0, torsional_moment=0)

Adds a point force and/or moment. :param location: Location of the point force along the beam [m] :param force: Force to add [N] :param bending_moment: Bending moment to add [N-m] # TODO make this work :param torsional_moment: Torsional moment to add [N-m] # TODO make this work :return: None (in-place)

add_uniform_load(force=0, bending_moment=0, torsional_moment=0)

Adds a uniformly distributed force and/or moment across the entire length of the beam. :param force: Total force applied to beam [N] :param bending_moment: Bending moment to add [N-m] # TODO make this work :param torsional_moment: Torsional moment to add [N-m] # TODO make this work :return: None (in-place)

add_elliptical_load(force=0, bending_moment=0, torsional_moment=0)

Adds an elliptically distributed force and/or moment across the entire length of the beam. :param force: Total force applied to beam [N] :param bending_moment: Bending moment to add [N-m] # TODO make this work :param torsional_moment: Torsional moment to add [N-m] # TODO make this work :return: None (in-place)

setup(bending_BC_type='cantilevered')

Sets up the problem. Run this last. :return: None (in-place)

draw_bending(show=True, for_print=False, equal_scale=True)

Draws a figure that illustrates some bending properties. Must be called on a solved object (i.e. using the substitute_sol method). :param show: Whether or not to show the figure [boolean] :param for_print: Whether or not the figure should be shaped for printing in a paper [boolean] :param equal_scale: Whether or not to make the displacement plot have equal scale (i.e. true deformation only) :return:
