ForceVector.2d: ForceVector.2d

In FEA: Finite Element Modeling for R

ForceVector.2d

Description

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

Usage

ForceVector.2d(Fx, Fy, RSF, meshP, NodeKnownL)

Arguments

Fx	Load vector for the x-direction
Fy	Load vector for the y-direction
RSF	If surface traction is present assign value as the ReducedSF matrix; if there is no surface traction set RSF = 0
meshP	Matrix (2 x n) containing coordinate points of the mesh nodes.
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(triMesh)
data(reduc_SF)
data(bound)

meshP = triMesh$MeshPts$p
RSF = reduc_SF
Fx = 10
Fy = 10
NodeKnownL = bound

load = ForceVector.2d(Fx, Fy, RSF, meshP, NodeKnownL)
