beamForceVector {FEA}

beamForceVector

Description

Creates a matrix of loads for beams in the x & y direction for each load unconstrained node.

Usage

beamForceVector(beamP, fx, fy, NodeKnownL)

Arguments

beamP

Matrix (2 x n) of beam coordinates.

fx

Load vector (newtons) in the x-direction.

fy

Load vector (newtons) in the y-direction.

NodeKnownL

Data frame with constraint parameters applied to each node in the x and y directions. Formatted for use in reduced element matrix. Generated from ApplyBC function.

Value

Produces a matrix with loading parameters for each node.

ReducedFV

Reduced force vector matrix containing the model load parameters.

Examples

data(beamGeo)
data(beamUDL)

NodeKnownL = beamBC
FV = beamForceVector(beamGeo$beamP, beamGeo$fx, beamGeo$fy, NodeKnownL)
