beamNodeDis: beamNodeDis

In FEA: Finite Element Modeling for R

beamNodeDis

Description

Calculates global nodal displacements of beam.

Usage

beamNodeDis(beamP, BCtran, BCrot, REM, NodeKnownL, ForceV)

Arguments

beamP	Matrix (2 x n) of beam coordinates.
BCtran	Boundary constraint for nodes to translate in x or y directions.
BCrot	Boundary constraint for nodes to rotate.
REM	Reduced element matrix, returned from function ReducedEM.
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.
ForceV	Reduced force vector matrix containing the model load parameters. Returned from function ForceVector.

Value

Produces tables with new node coordinates that are produced by the geometry under an applied load.

NodeDis	Nodal displacement
GlobalND	Nodal displacement in the global environment
GlobalNDMatrix	Nodal displacement in the global environment as a reduced matrix

Examples

data(beamGeo)
data(beamFV)
data(beamREM)
data(beamBC)

ForceV = beamFV
REM = beamREM
NodeKnownL = beamBC

beamND = beamNodeDis(beamGeo$beamP, beamGeo$BCtran, beamGeo$BCrot, REM, NodeKnownL, ForceV)
