struct.liner.normal.stress

Syntax

f := struct.liner.normal.stress(p,inode<,i>)

Get the stress magnitude in the normal coupling spring at node inode (inode ∈ {1, 2, 3}). The coupling spring lies in the tangent plane of the liner surface at side i. The direction in which force is acting is given by struct.liner.normal.dir.

Returns:

f - stress magnitude

Arguments:

p - a pointer to a liner element

inode - node number in the element, inode ∈ {1, 2, 3}

i - optional side indicator, e.g., 1 or 2. The default value is 1.
