beamApplyBC {FEA}

beamApplyBC

Description

Boundary constraint for element centroids based on coordinate points. For the x & y direction per centroid create matrix with boundary 1(unfixed) or 0(fixed).

Usage

beamApplyBC(beamP, BCtran, BCrot)

Arguments

beamP

Matrix (2 x n) of beam coordinates.

BCtran

Boundary constraint for nodes to translate in x or y directions. Input as a non-matrix column.

BCrot

Boundary constraint for nodes to rotate. Input as a non-matrix column.

Value

A data frame with constraint parameters applied to each node for directional translation and rotation. Formatted for use in reduced element matrix.

NodeKnownL

Matrix (1 x n) of constraint parameters

Examples

data(beamGeo)

beamBC = beamApplyBC(beamGeo$beamP, beamGeo$BCtran, beamGeo$BCrot)
