NodalValue#

class xara.NodalValue(model, node: int, dof: int, value: float = 1.0)#

Impose a displacement value at a node.

Internally this class uses the sp command to create a single-point constraint.

Parameters:
model: xara.Model

The model to which the displacement is applied.

node: int

Tag of the Node at which to impose the displacement

dof: int

Degree of freedom at which to impose the displacement

value: float

Reference value of the imposed displacement. The displacement at each step will be scaled according to the xara.TimeSeries associated with the xara.StaticPattern to which the nodal value is applied.
