Properties

Defining properties

The following properties are defined on the class

Name Type Description Quantity
Loadcase Loadcase The Loadcase in which the load is applied. -
Axis LoadAxis Defines whether the load is applied in local or global coordinates. -
Projected bool If true the load is projected to the region. -
Force Vector Force per area to be applied to the region. Pressure [Pa]
Contour Polyline Closed planar polyline enclosing the region to be loaded. -

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

Code and Schema

C# implementation

C#
public class ContourLoad : BH.oM.Base.BHoMObject, BH.oM.Base.IBHoMObject, BH.oM.Base.IObject, BH.oM.Structure.Loads.ILoad

Assembly: Structure_oM.dll
