Description Usage Arguments Value
Calculate Temperature Load as a function of a surface changes of temperature, TL [kN]. Usually used for calculation of Axial Compression Force for the top level member.
TL = α_T \, δ_T \, k_T \, E \, A
1 | temperature_load(alpha_T = 1.2e-05, delta_T = 10, k_T = 0.8, E = 210, A = 94.4)
