Load
Nodal Load
NODAL LOADS
A nested class within Load used to create nodal loads.
Constructor
Load.Nodal(node, load_case, load_group = "", FX = 0, FY = 0, FZ = 0, MX = 0, MY = 0, MZ = 0, id = "")
Creates nodal loads (forces and moments) at specified nodes.
Parameters
node: Node ID where load is appliedload_case: Name of the load caseload_group (default=""): Load group nameFX, FY, FZ (default=0): Force components in X, Y, Z directionsMX, MY, MZ (default=0): Moment components about X, Y, Z axesid (default=""): Manual ID assignment (auto-assigned if empty)
Methods
json
Returns JSON representation of all nodal loads.
nl1 = Load.Nodal(101, "Live Load", FZ=-50)
print(Load.Nodal.json())
create
Sends nodal loads to Civil NX.
Load.Nodal.create()
get
Fetches nodal loads from Civil NX.
print(Load.Nodal.get())
sync
Synchronizes nodal loads from Civil NX.
Load.Nodal.sync()
delete
Deletes all nodal loads from both Python and Civil NX.
Load.Nodal.delete()
Examples
#Nodal Load Example
for i in range(2):
Node(i*10,0,0)
Node.create()
Element.Beam(1,2)
