struct.link.used.by

Syntax

s := struct.link.used.by(p)

Get the name of the type of structural element with which this link is associated. This only applies to node-to-zone links, otherwise the return is a null string. The type string will be one of beam, cable, pile, shell, geogrid, or liner. If the attach conditions and models assigned to the link are not compatible with those elements (generally because they have been changed), then a null string is returned.

Returns:

s - a name indicating the type of element with which the link is associated

Arguments:

p - a pointer to a structural link
