BH.oM.Structure.Loads.BarDifferentialTemperatureLoad

Differential temperature load for Bars.

Class structure

Implemented interfaces and base types

The BarDifferentialTemperatureLoad is inheriting from the following base type(s) and implements the following interfaces:

Properties

Defining properties

The following properties are defined on the class

Name Type Description Quantity
TemperatureProfile Dictionary<double, double> Differential temperature profile of the Bar expressed as a Dictionary of the parametric position from the bottom (local z) or left (local y) face of the profile and the temperature at each increment. Temperature [K]
LoadDirection DifferentialTemperatureLoadDirection The direction of the temperature variation, relative to the local axis of the profile. -
Loadcase Loadcase The Loadcase in which the load is applied. -
Objects BHoMGroup<Bar> The group of Bars that the load should be applied to. For most analysis packages the objects added here need to be pulled from the analysis package before being assigned to the load. -
Axis LoadAxis Defines whether the load is applied in local or global coordinates. -
Projected bool If true the load is projected to the element. This means that the load will be reduced when its direction is at an angle to the element. -

Inherited properties

The following properties are inherited from the base class of the object

Name Type Description Quantity
BHoM_Guid Guid - -
Name string - -
Fragments FragmentSet - -
Tags HashSet<string> - -
CustomData Dictionary<string, object> - -

Derived properties

The following properties are defined as extension methods in one of the BHoM_Engines

Name Type Description Quantity Engine
IsNull bool Checks if a Load is null and outputs relevant error message. - Structure_Engine
IVisualize IEnumerable<IGeometry> Draws arrows representing the load. Visualisation will depend on the load type. - Structure_Engine
