simdesign.rcmrf.bnsm.baselib.floor

This module provides a base class for representing floor diaphragms within the BNSM layer and for building and exporting their OpenSees representations.

class simdesign.rcmrf.bnsm.baselib.floor.FloorDiaphragmBase(cnodes, floor, masses)[source]

Bases: ABC

Abstract Base Class for floor diaphragm implementations in BNSM layer. It provides methods to define a floor diaphragm in the OpenSees domain and to export equivalent Python and Tcl commands.

The diaphragm is represented through a retained node (placed at the floor center of mass) and rigid diaphragm multi-point constraints that connect the retained node to the constrained floor nodes. In the case of flexible diaphragms, the base class needs to be extended.

Parameters:

cnodes (List[Node])
floor (int)
masses (List[float])

cnodes

Constrained floor nodes.

Type:: List[Node]

rnode

Retained floor node.

Type:: Node

floor

Floor id (e.g., storey no).

Type:: int

masses

Total joint masses used for defining retained node location.

Type:: List[float]

NodeClass: alias of Node

add_to_ops()[source]

Adds all of the floor diaphragm objects into the OpenSees domain (i.e, retained floor node at center of mass and floor diaphragm).

Return type:: None

to_py()[source]

Gets the Python commands to define floor diaphragm objects in the OpenSees domain (i.e, retained floor node at center of mass and floor diaphragm).

Returns:: List of Python commands for constructing the components of floor diaphragm in OpenSees.
Return type:: List[str]

to_tcl()[source]

Gets the Tcl commands to define floor diaphragm objects in the OpenSees domain (i.e, retained floor node at center of mass and floor diaphragm).

Returns:: List of Tcl commands for constructing the components of floor diaphragm in OpenSees.
Return type:: List[str]
