Cell

class sectionproperties.post.fibre.Cell(ele: Tri6, omega: npt.NDArray[np.float64] | None = None)

Bases: object

Holds the information of a fibre cell.

Variables:

• tag (int) – The tag of the cell

• area (float) – The area of the cell

• material (str) – The material name of the cell

• y (float) – The y-coordinate of the cell

• z (float) – The z-coordinate of the cell

• omega (float) – The warping function of the cell

• py (float) – The derivative of the warping function with respect to y

• pz (float) – The derivative of the warping function with respect to z

Methods

__init__(ele: Tri6, omega: npt.NDArray[np.float64] | None = None) → None

Converts a Tri6 element to a fibre cell.

If omega is None, no warping is considered.

Parameters:

• ele (Tri6) – The Tri6 element

• omega (npt.NDArray[np.float64] | None) – The warping function. Defaults to None.

abstractmethod export() → str

Export the cell to a string.

Needs to be implemented by subclasses.

Returns:

The exported cell

Return type:

str
