Available Elements

Implemented elements in this library

1. Frame Elements

• This element is the base and general element for frame, beam and truss elements.
• To model a truss/bar element, set Frame2DEndRelease to Frame2DEndRelease.FullRelease.

1.1 Loading

You can set variety of frame element load:

• Point load.
• Uniform load partially distributed along the span of the element.
• Trapezoidal load partially distributed along the span of the element.

Load direction follows the local and global direction of the local axes of the member

2. Spring Elements

Spring elements is a linear element that can be:

• Longitudinal spring that has displacement in x or y direction or
• Torsional spring that has rotation at each node.
• Spring elements do not support having cross sections as it have longitudinal and torsional stiffness.
• Spring elements do not support having loads on it, instead spring's node can have nodal loads.
