FormDiagram.update_lumped_weights

FormDiagram.update_lumped_weights(thickness=0.5, density=20.0)[source]

Update the lumped weights based on the curent geometry of the thrust network The loads are computed based on the tributary area times the thickness times the density. For variable thickness the nodal attribute thk is considered.

Parameters

  • thickness (float, optional) – The thickness of the problem, by default 0.50 If None is passed, the thickness is taken from the nodal attribute thk

  • density (float, optional) – The density assumed, by default 20.0

Returns

None – Loads are updated in place.
