compas_tno.shapes.arch_shape(H=1.0, L=2.0, x0=0.0, thk=0.2, b=0.5, t=0.0, total_nodes=100)[source]

Helper to create meshes to define upper and lower bounds of 2D arch

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

  • t (float, optional) – Parameter for lower bound in nodes in the boundary, by default 0.0

  • total_nodes (int, optional) – Density of the shape, by default 100

Returns

  • intrados (MeshDos) – A MeshDos for the intrados of the pattern

  • extrados (MeshDos) – A MeshDos for the extrados of the pattern

  • middle (MeshDos) – A MeshDos for the middle of the pattern
