struct.link.model.prop

Syntax

a = struct.link.model.prop(p,idof,s)

struct.link.model.prop(p,idof,s) = a

Get/set a property of the deformable model in degree-of-freedom idof in the structural elemenet link p.

On get, if that degree-of-freedom does not have a deformable model, or the property name is not recognized, the return value will be an error string.

On set in those cases nothing happens.

Keyword matching is used to compare s with a property name, with the first valid match being used in the list of properties associated with the model.

Returns:

a - the model property

Accepts:

a - the model property - if the type is not what is expected an error will occur.

Arguments:

p - a pointer to a structural link

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

s - a string represengint the name of a property used by the model.
