simdesign.rcmrf.bdim.baselib.infill

This module provides the base class for representing masonry infill walls within the BDIM layer.

class simdesign.rcmrf.bdim.baselib.infill.InfillBase(rectangle, beams, columns, loc)[source]

Bases: ABC

Abstract base class for infills.

Must be inherited by design-class-specific infills.

Parameters:

rectangle

Geometric mesh representation of the infill (tag, points, lines).

beams

List of beams corresponding to the rectangle lines with indices 1 and 3.

columns

List of columns corresponding to the rectangle lines with indices 0 and 2.

Location of the infill wall : ‘exterior’ or ‘interior’.

property typology: Literal['Weak', 'Medium', 'Strong']

Return the infill wall typology (strength) based on assignment.

Returns:: Type of the infill wall.
Return type:: Literal[‘Weak’, ‘Medium’, ‘Strong’]
Raises:: KeyError – If loc is not set to ‘interior’ or ‘exterior’ and strength is not defined.

property thickness: float

Return the infill wall thickness based on its typology.

property unit_weight: float

Return the infill wall unit weight based on its typology.

property height: float

Compute the infill height from its rectangle points (z-extent).

property length: float

Compute the infill length along its in-plane horizontal axis.

Returns:: Length of wall along y (if YZ plane) or along x (if XZ plane).
Return type:: float
Raises:: ValueError – If the rectangle is not axis-aligned in YZ or XZ planes.

property plane: Literal['XZ', 'YZ']

Detect whether the rectangle lies in the YZ or XZ plane and return the corresponding in-plane name.

Returns:: The plane name which is parallel to the infill.
Return type:: Literal[‘XZ’, ‘YZ’]
Raises:: ValueError – If the rectangle is not axis-aligned in YZ or XZ planes.

property weight: float

Compute the total weight of the infill panel.

property wg: float

Return the distributed load (line load) on the supporting beam.

set_beam_infill_load()[source]

Assign the infill’s distributed load to the supporting beam.

Notes

If supporting beam exists (except ground floors), sets its infill_wg attribute to self.wg.
