Plot_2dCurvDistr
Purpose
plot curvature distribution of 2d linear elastic frame elements
Synopsis
Plot_2dCurvDistr (Model,ElemData,Post,ElemList,UserScale)
Description
PLOT_2dCURVDISTR plot curvature distribution of 2d linear elastic frame elements PLOT_2dCURVDISTR (MODEL,ELEMDATA,POST,ELEMLIST,USERSCALE) the function plots in the current window the curvature distribution for 2d linear elastic frame elements in ELEMLIST for the structural model in data structure MODEL; the cell array ELEMDATA carries information about element properties and loading; POST is either the vector of basic forces Q, or a cell array with post-processing information for the basic element forces in POST.ELEM{el}.Q; the optional row vector ELEMLIST contains the numbers of elements to include for plotting, e.g. [1:4 7 9] selects elements 1 through 4, 7 and 9; the optional scalar argument USERSCALE is a magnification factor for the diagram (default=1)
Cross-Reference Information
This function calls:
- Localize returns the node coordinates and id array of element
- ElmLenOr element length and x-axis orientation (direction cosines)
- Get_ModelScale determines maximum and minimum element length in Model
- Q2Post converts the vector of basic forces Q to cell array Post.Elem{}
