Materials

A material is added to a xara.Model using the material method:

Model.material(object)

Add a material to the model to be used in elements and sections.

Parameters:

object: xara.UniaxialMaterial or xara.MultiaxialMaterial

material object

Materials are primarily classified as uniaxial and multiaxial materials. Multiaxial materials can be used in any material context, and define the material behavior in all six degrees of freedom. Uniaxial materials are used to define the material behavior in one direction.

• Uniaxial
• Multiaxial
• Friction
