reciprocal_from_form

compas_tno.algorithms.reciprocal_from_form(form, plot=False, restore_form_topology=True)[source]

Find a reciprocal form diagram from the stored force densities in thisdiagram This is an algebraic solution to the duality. It should work as long as the force densities in the form diagram are equilibrated.

Parameters

  • form (FormDiagram) – The form diagram to update.

  • plot (bool, optional) – If plots with form and force should display on the screen. The default value is False.

  • restore_form_topology (bool, optional) – If form topology should be restored. The default value is True.

Notes

See compas ags package.

Returns

force (ForceDiagram) – The reciprocal force diagram.
