apply_selfweight_from_thrust
- compas_tno.utilities.apply_selfweight_from_thrust(form, thickness=0.5, density=20.0)[source]
Lump the selfweight in the nodes of the thrust network based on their current position. 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
form (FormDiagram) – The form diagram to be considered
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 of the material, by default 20.0
- Returns
None – The form diagram is updated in place
