spring

class granoo3.lib.spring

Bases: granoo3.lib.bond

a mechanical spring that links two elements

Methods Summary

`elastic_energy`(arg1)	compute the current elastic energy stored in the spring
`get_direction`(arg1)	get the current direction of the spring.
`get_stiffness`(arg1)	get the stiffness value
`new`(arg1, arg2)	build new object
`set_stiffness`(arg1, arg2)

Methods Documentation

elastic_energy((spring)arg1) → float[STATIC]: compute the current elastic energy stored in the spring

get_direction((spring)arg1) → vector[STATIC]: get the current direction of the spring. The direction is along the two centers of the connected elements

static new((element)arg1, (element)arg2) → spring[STATIC]: build new object
