compute_form_initial_lengths

compas_tno.utilities.compute_form_initial_lengths(form)

Compute the length of each edge based on the projection of the pattern onto the middle surface. Note: the middle surface is obtained based on the “target” attributes of the form diagram that should be set before invoking this method.

Parameters:

form::FormDiagram::

Form diagram to compute the lengths.

Returns:

lengthsarray (m x 1)

A vector (m x 1) containing the calculated edge lengths.
