FISH Functions

FISH functions operating on beam elements. The type specifiers used in the FISH function signatures are given in the FISH Type Index section.

Note that all beam functions will also work with pile elements.

Structural Beam Functions

struct.beam.area(STRUCT_BEAM_PNT) Get/set the cross-section area of the element.

struct.beam.force.nodal(STRUCT_BEAM_PNT,INT<,INT>) Get the generalized nodal force acting at end iend in...
struct.beam.length(STRUCT_BEAM_PNT) Get the length of the beam element.
struct.beam.load(STRUCT_BEAM_PNT<,INT>) Get/set the uniform applied distributed load acting on the beam...
struct.beam.moi(STRUCT_BEAM_PNT<,INT>) Get/set the moment of inertia of the beam.
