struct.pile.gap
Syntax
- f = struct.pile.gap(p,iend,ig)
Get the gap component in normal spring at end iend ∈ {1, 2} of the pile element. The gap forms a rectangular shape in the pile cross-sectional plane, which is defined by the local yz-axes of the pile element node. The gap consists of four values denoting gap size in the positive and negative y- and z-directions. The value of ig ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4} denotes the positive y-direction, negative y-direction, positive z-direction, and negative z-direction, respectively. The gap is always being tracked, but only affects behavior if the normal coupling spring gap-use flag function
struct.pile.normal.gap
is true.Returns: f - the gap component
Arguments: p - a pointer to a pile element
iend - end number of the pile element, iend ∈ {1, 2}
ig - an integer (see explanations above)
