struct.pile.shear.dir

Syntax

v := struct.pile.shear.dir(p,iend)

Get the global direction in which the pile element is being loaded by the coupling shear spring at end iend ∈ {1, 2}.

Returns:

v - vector of the direction

Arguments:

p - a pointer to a pile element

iend - end number of the element, iend ∈ {1, 2}

Component Access

f := struct.pile.shear.dir (p, iend)->x

f := struct.pile.shear.dir.x(p,iend)

Get the \(x\)-component of the global direction in which the pile element is being loaded by the coupling shear spring at end iend ∈ {1, 2}.

Returns:

f - \(x\)-component of the vector of the direction

Arguments:

p - a pointer to a pile element

iend - end number of the element, iend ∈ {1, 2}

Access other vector components (\(y\), \(z\)) by substituting the component name where \(x\) appears above. See Member Access Operator for information about accessing members from data types using ->.

Deprecated Component Access

Component access by adding an optional integer in the function arguments (struct.pile.shear.dir(p,iend,<int>)) is deprecated. It remains available but will not be supported in future versions. See Component Access with Integers in FISH on the Deprecated Commands and FISH page for details.

This is hidden. Added to include remaining vector component access functions for inline help.

f := struct.pile.shear.dir.y(p,iend)

f := struct.pile.shear.dir.z(p,iend)
