Properties

Defining properties

The following properties are defined on the interface

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 along to the element. This means that the load will be reduced when its direction is at an angle to the element. -

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 interface ILoad : BH.oM.Base.IBHoMObject, BH.oM.Base.IObject

Assembly: Structure_oM.dll

The C# interface definition is available on github:

All history and changes of the class can be found by inspection the history.

JSON Schema implementation

The object is defined as a JSON schema. You can validate a JSON instance against this schema by reference. To do this, use the schema reference below in a validator like this one.

JSON Schema
{
 "$ref" : "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BHoM/BHoM_JSONSchema/develop/Structure_oM/Loads/ILoad.json"
}
