Beam View (Karamba3D_PUI)
Lets you set the display properties of beams and trusses. Plug it into the definition after a ModelView-component so that you can fine-tune the model display with it.
Inputs
| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model | Model | Model to be viewed | Model |
| Filled | Filled | Enables/disables the output of cross section forces distribution as meshes. Use the 'Length/Segment'-slider of the 'Display Scales'-section of the ModelView-component to refine the display. | Boolean |
| Numbers | Numbers | Enables/disables the numeric display of cross section forces along beams. Use the 'Length/Segment'-slider of the 'Display Scales'-section of the ModelView-component to refine the display. | Boolean |
| Scale [kN] to [m] | Scale kN | Sets the distance between beam axis and the line describing the cross section forces distribution. | Number |
| Scale [kNm] to [m] | Scale kNm | Sets the distance between beam axis and the line describing the cross section forces distribution. | Number |
| Mx | Mx | Enables/disables the display of torsional moments [kNm]. Show bending moment about local X-axis (= torsional moment). | Boolean |
| My | My | Enables/disables the display of moments about the local Y-axis [kNm]. Turn on the 'Local axes' in the 'Display Scales'-section of the ModelView-component to check its direction. The Y-axis is symbolized by the green arrow. | Boolean |
| Mz | Mz | Enables/disables the display of moments about the local Z-axis [kNm]. Turn on the 'Local axes' in the 'Display Scales'-section of the ModelView-component to check its direction. The Z-axis is symbolized by the blue arrow. | Boolean |
| Nx | Nx | Enables/disables the display of the normal force [kN]. | Boolean |
| Vy | Vy | Enables/disables the display of shear forces in local Y-direction [kN]. Turn on the 'Local axes' in the 'Display Scales'-section of the ModelView-component to check its direction. The Y-axis is symbolized by the green arrow. | Boolean |
| Vz | Vz | Enables/disables the display of shear forces in local Z-direction [kN]. Turn on the 'Local axes' in the 'Display Scales'-section of the ModelView-component to check its direction. The Z-axis is symbolized by the bluw arrow. | Boolean |
| Response Properties | ResProps | Select the response properties to be displayed: -1: None. 0 - Cross Section: Display of rendered beam cross sections. Use the 'Faces/Cross section'-slider below and the 'Length/Segment'-slider of the 'Display Scales'-section of the ModelView-component to refine the display. 1 - Axial Stress: Rendering of axial stress [kN/cm2] in the beam material. 2 - Utilization: Rendering of the approximate utilization of the beam material. It is calculated as the ratio between axial stress in the beam and yield stress of the material. Shear stresses and buckling are not taken into account. Use the 'Utilization of Elements'-component to get values based on the Eurocode 3 for steel structures. 3 - Displacement: Rendering of resultant displacements on beam cross sections. | Integer |
| Faces/Cross Section | Faces/Cross Section | Sets the number of mesh faces over a beams cross section that are used for rendering. | Integer |
Outputs
| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model | Model | Model | Model |
| Meshes of rendered beams | Mesh | Mesh of rendered structure: one mesh per shell or beam to keep the list order. The placeholder meshes for shells are 'Null Meshes'. | Mesh |
| Deformed beam axes | Curves | Lines of sectional forces distribution (if enabled) | Curve |
| Legend colors | Legend C | Colors of legend | Colour |
| Legend tags | Legend T | Tags of legend | Text |
