Node

Node#

This method is used to construct a Node which stores information about coordinates and mass at a single point. The assignment of mass is optional.

Model.node(tag, coords[, mass])#
Parameters:

  • tag – integer tag identifying node

  • coords – tuple of Model.ndm float coordinates

  • mass – tuple of Model.ndf nodal mass values

Example#

The following example adds two nodes to a Model with an ndm of 2 and a ndf of 3. The two nodes to be added have node tags 3 and 4. Node 3 is located at coordinates (168.0, 144.0) and node 4 at location (168.0,144.0). Node 4 is assigned a mass of (10.0, 10.0, 0.).

model.node(3, (168.0,  0.0))
model.node(4, (168.0,  0.0), mass=(10.0, 10.0, 0.0))
