compas_tno.shapes.arch_shape(H=1.0, L=2.0, x0=0.0, thk=0.2, b=0.5, t=0.0, total_nodes=100)[source]

Helper to create meshes to define upper and lower bounds of 2D arch

Parameters

• H (float, optional) – Height of the arch, by default 1.00

• L (float, optional) – Span of the arch, by default 2.0

• x0 (float, optional) – Starting coordinate of the arch , by default 0.0

• thk (float, optional) – Thickness of the arch, by default 0.20

• b (float, optional) – Out-of-plane measure of the arch, by default 0.5

• t (float, optional) – Parameter for lower bound in nodes in the boundary, by default 0.0

• total_nodes (int, optional) – Density of the shape, by default 100

Returns

• intrados (MeshDos) – A MeshDos for the intrados of the pattern

• extrados (MeshDos) – A MeshDos for the extrados of the pattern

• middle (MeshDos) – A MeshDos for the middle of the pattern
