Members

Member is the physical object connecting two nodes with material and section properties.

Create members​

var member = model.AddMember(
    startNode: n1,
    endNode: n2,
    material: SteelLibrary.S355,
    section: new IBeamSection(0.2, 0.1, 0.008, 0.012),
    type: MemberType.Beam,
    sectionRotation: 0.0);

Member types​

  • MemberType.Beam - axial + bending/torsion behavior.
  • MemberType.Truss - axial-dominant behavior.

Common properties​

  • Id, Name, Type
  • StartNode, EndNode, Nodes
  • Material, Section
  • OrientationVector
  • StartRelease, EndRelease
  • BucklingLengthFactorY, BucklingLengthFactorZ

Removal​

var removed = model.RemoveMember(member);

Notes​

  • Adding a member auto-registers its start/end nodes in the model if needed.
  • Any member change invalidates previously attached result sets.
