Line | Line | Straight line which will be connected to others if they meet at common points. Node indexes may change if lines are added. | Curve |
Color | Color | Colour of the beam. The component applies the longest list principle with respect to the input lines. | Colour |
Identifier | Id | Identifier of the beam. Need not be unique in a model. The component applies the longest list principle with respect to the input lines. | String |
Cross section | CroSec | Cross section of the beam. The component applies the longest list principle with respect to the input lines. | CrossSection |
Points | Pts | List of points which will be inserted at the beginning of the node-list at the output-plug. This makes it easy to reference them by index in the model later on. May contain duplicate points. In case of duplicate points elements are attached to them alternating: first element to first duplicate point, second element to second duplicate point, third element to first duplicate point in case there are only two points in one position. | Point |
New | New | If false, a line only results in an element if it connects to points given in the 'Points' input-plug. | Boolean |
Remove | Remove | Remove duplicate lines - otherwise there could be two elements on the same spot which is normally not preferred. | Boolean |
Limit distance [m] | LDist | Limit distance [m] for coincident points. | Number |
Z-Orientation | Z-Ori | New orientation of the local Z-axis of beam. If the vector has zero length, the default orientation remains in place. | Vector |
Bending | Bending | If true the beam has bending stiffness. Otherwise it is a truss. | Boolean |
