struct.cable.grout.dir

Syntax

v := struct.cable.grout.dir(p,iend)

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

Returns:

v - displacement vector

Arguments:

p - pointer to a cable-type element

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

Component Access

f := struct.cable.grout.dir (p, iend)->x

f := struct.cable.grout.dir.x(p,iend)

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

Returns:

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

Arguments:

p - pointer to a cable element

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

Access other vector components (\(y\), \(z\) (3D only)) 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.cable.grout.dir(p,<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.cable.grout.dir.y(p,iend)

f := struct.cable.grout.dir.z(p,iend)
