support_shape

class granoo3.lib.support_shape

Bases: granoo3.lib.ground

class that model a perfect shape that contains discrete_element

Methods Summary

attach_to(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4)	attach the current support_shape to a discrete_element_set
get(arg1)	return the support shape with the given id
is_attached(arg1)	tell if the support shape is attached to a discrete_element_set
set_density(arg1, arg2)	set the density of the discrete element.
update(arg1)	update the shape length, position and orientation related to the displacements of the attached discrete elements
volume(arg1)	return volume of the shape
volume_fraction(arg1)	return the volume fraction.

Methods Documentation

attach_to((support_shape)arg1, (discrete_element_set)arg2, (bool)arg3, (float)arg4) → None[STATIC]

attach the current support_shape to a discrete_element_set

static get((str)arg1) → support_shape[STATIC]

return the support shape with the given id

is_attached((support_shape)arg1) → bool[STATIC]

tell if the support shape is attached to a discrete_element_set

set_density((support_shape)arg1, (float)arg2) → float[STATIC]

set the density of the discrete element. Note the volume fraction is applied here to mimic continuous media

update((support_shape)arg1) → None[STATIC]

update the shape length, position and orientation related to the displacements of the attached discrete elements

volume((support_shape)arg1) → float[STATIC]

return volume of the shape

volume_fraction((support_shape)arg1) → float[STATIC]

return the volume fraction. this is the sum of discrete element volume divided by the volume of the support shape
