compas_ags.ags.compute_external_work(form, force)[source]

Compute the external work of a structure.

The external work done by a structure is equal to the work done by the external forces. This is equal to the sum of the dot products of the force vectors and the vectors defined by the force application point and a fixed arbitrary point.

Parameters

  • form (FormDiagram) – The form diagram.

  • force (ForceDiagram) – The force diagram.

Returns

float – The external work done by the structure.
