MarkerBodyCable2DShape

A special Marker attached to a 2D ANCF beam finite element with cubic interpolation and 8 coordinates.

Additional information for MarkerBodyCable2DShape:

  • This Marker has/provides the following types = Object, Body, Coordinate

The item MarkerBodyCable2DShape with type = 'BodyCable2DShape' has the following parameters:

  • name [type = String, default = '']:
    marker's unique name
  • bodyNumber [type = ObjectIndex, default = invalid (-1)]:
    body number to which marker is attached to
  • numberOfSegments [type = PInt, default = 3]:
    number of number of segments; each segment is a line and is associated to a data (history) variable; must be same as in according contact element
  • verticalOffset [type = Real, default = 0.]:
    vertical offset from beam axis in positive (local) Y-direction; this offset accounts for consistent computation of positions and velocities at the surface of the beam
  • visualization [type = VMarkerBodyCable2DShape]:
    parameters for visualization of item

The item VMarkerBodyCable2DShape has the following parameters:

  • show [type = Bool, default = True]:
    set true, if item is shown in visualization and false if it is not shown
