new Plate(nodesopt, thickness, material_id, rotZ, type, offset, diaphragm, membrane_thickness, shear_thickness, bending_thickness, state, holesopt, isMeshed)
Creates an instance of the SkyCiv Plate class.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
nodes |
Array.<number> |
<optional> |
An array of node IDs that define the plate. At least 3 IDs are required. |
|
thickness |
number |
Plate thickness. |
||
material_id |
number |
The ID of the material to use for the plate. |
||
rotZ |
number | 0 |
Rotation about the z-axis. |
|
type |
"auto" | auto |
Auto will consider shear deformation when the plate thickness is sufficient. |
|
offset |
number | 0 |
Offset of the plate along its local z-axis. |
|
diaphragm |
"no" | "rigid" | no |
If the plate is a diaphragm. |
|
membrane_thickness |
number | null |
The membrane thickness to be used. Takes the value of thickness if null. |
|
shear_thickness |
number | null |
The shear thickness to be used. Takes the value of thickness if null. |
|
bending_thickness |
number | null |
The bending thickness to be used. Takes the value of thickness if null. |
|
state |
"stress" | "strain" | stress |
Denotes whether the plate is in a state of plane stress or plane strain. |
|
holes |
Array.<number> |
<optional> |
null |
An array of node IDs. Used to define holes in the plate. |
isMeshed |
boolean | false |
Indicates whether the plate is already meshed. |
