compas_tno.algorithms.equilibrium_fdm(form)[source]

Compute equilibrium of the form diagram using the force density method (FDM) with ‘q’s stored in the form (All coordinates can change).

Parameters: form (FormDiagram) – The FormDiagram with attributes relevant to the analysis (force densities, loads, fixities, etc).
Returns: form (FormDiagram) – The relaxed form diagram.

A computational framework for collaboration and research in Architecture, Engineering, Fabrication, and Construction.
