struct.liner.normal.disp

Syntax

f := struct.liner.normal.disp(p,inode)

Get the displacement 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. The direction in which force is acting is given by struct.liner.normal.dir.

Returns:

f - displacement magnitude

Arguments:

p - a pointer to a liner element

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