Detailed Description

Builder class for creating Blade objects.

Each of the methods for setting options returns a reference to this BeamBuilder object to allow chaining calls together in a single statement.

Member Function Documentation

AddRefAxisPoint()

BeamBuilder & kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::AddRefAxisPoint	(	double	grid_location,
		const std::array< double, 3 > &	coordinates,
		ReferenceAxisOrientation	ref_axis
	)

Adds a reference axis point with specified orientation.

Parameters

grid_location	Location [0,1] along the blade
coordinates	Coordinates (x,y,z) of the reference axis point
ref_axis	Reference axis orientation ('X' or 'Z')

Returns

Reference to this builder for method chaining

AddRefAxisTwist()

BeamBuilder & kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::AddRefAxisTwist	(	double	grid_location,
		double	twist
	)

Adds a twist about the reference axis at a certain point.

This value will be linearly interpolated to the required locations along the actual beam element

Parameters

grid_location	The location where the twist is specified
twist	The twist about the reference axis in degrees

Returns

A reference to this BeamBuilder

AddSection()

BeamBuilder & kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::AddSection	(	double	grid_location,
		const std::array< std::array< double, 6 >, 6 > &	mass_matrix,
		const std::array< std::array< double, 6 >, 6 > &	stiffness_matrix,
		ReferenceAxisOrientation	ref_axis
	)

Adds sectional location, mass matrix, and stiffness matrix. Can handle reference axis along X or Z.

Parameters

grid_location	section location [0,1] along blade
mass_matrix	sectional mass matrix
stiffness_matrix	sectional stiffness matrix
ref_axis	Reference axis ('X' or 'Z')

Returns

Reference to this builder for method chaining

Build()

Beam kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::Build

(

Model &

model

)

const

Build a Blade object from the current configuration.

Parameters

model

The model to associate with this blade

Returns

A new Blade object

ClearReferenceAxisPoints()

BeamBuilder & kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::ClearReferenceAxisPoints

(

)

Deletes all currently set reference axis points.

Returns

A reference to this BeamBuilder

ClearSections()

BeamBuilder & kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::ClearSections

(

)

Deletes all sections that have been added to the BeamBuilder.

Returns

A reference to this BeamBuilder

Input()

const BeamInput & kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::Input

(

)

const

Get the current blade input configuration.

Returns

Reference to the current blade input

PrescribedRootMotion()

BeamBuilder & kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::PrescribedRootMotion

(

bool

enable

)

sets if this beam will have prescribed root motion or not

Parameters

enable

If prescirbed root motion is enabled

Returns

A reference to this BeamBuilder

SetElementOrder()

BeamBuilder & kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::SetElementOrder

(

size_t

element_order

)

Sets the prder of the beam elements.

Returns

A reference to this BeamBuilder

SetRootAcceleration()

BeamBuilder & kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::SetRootAcceleration

(

const std::array< double, 6 > &

a

)

Sets the acceleration of this beam's root node.

Parameters

a	The root node acceleration/angular acceleration

Returns

A reference to this BeamBuilder

SetRootPosition()

BeamBuilder & kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::SetRootPosition

(

const std::array< double, 7 > &

p

)

Sets the position of this beam's root node.

Parameters

p	The root node position/orientation as a quaternion

Returns

A reference to this BeamBuilder

SetRootVelocity()

BeamBuilder & kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::SetRootVelocity

(

const std::array< double, 6 > &

v

)

Sets the velocity of this beam's root node.

Parameters

v	The root node velocity/angular velcoity

Returns

A reference to this BeamBuilder

SetSectionRefinement()

BeamBuilder & kynema::interfaces::components::BeamBuilder::SetSectionRefinement

(

size_t

section_refinement

)

Sets the number of section refinements to perform.

This adds additional quadrature points between the supplied sections and sets their physical properties using linear interpolation. This is used to achieve sufficiently accurate quadrature for high order elements even when the physical properties have a relatively simple distribution.

Returns

A reference to this BeamBuilder
