struct.link.model.area

Syntax

m := struct.link.model.area(p<,idof>)

struct.link.model.area(p<,idof>) := m

Get/set the area associated with the force-displacement model. This is either returned as a 6×1 (3×1 in 2D) matrix or as a single value representing the area in degrees-of-freedom idof if provided.

Returns:

m - a 6×1 (3×1 in 2D) matrix with the areas of all degrees-of-freedom, or the area of a single specific degree-of-freedom

Accepts:

m - a 6×1 (3×1 in 2D) matrix with the areas of all degrees-of-freedom, or the area of a single specific degree-of-freedom

Arguments:

p - a pointer to a structural link

idof - an optional integer indicating a specific degree of freedom to query, from 1 to 6 (1 to 3 in 2D)
