struct.link.attach

Syntax

i := struct.link.attach(p,idof)

Get the attached condition used by the link in degree-of-freedom idof (from 1 to 6 (1 to 3 in 2D)).

The return value will be an integer with one of three values: 1 = free; 2 = rigid; and 3 = deformable.

If the condition is deformable, see the struct.link.model function (and associated functions) for details.

Returns:

i - an integer indicating the basic attachment condition used by this link in degree-of-freedom idof

Arguments:

p - a pointer to a structural link

idof - the degree-of-freedom, from 1 to 6 (1 to 3 in 2D)
