arch_shape_polar
- compas_tno.shapes.arch_shape_polar(H=1.0, L=2.0, x0=0.0, thk=0.2, b=0.5, total_nodes=100)[source]
Helper to create meshes to define upper and lower bounds of 2D arch with polar coordinates Note: The points in this mesh will not result in a direct projection for a typical form diagram
- 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
total_nodes (int, optional) – Density of the shape, by default 100
- Returns
