Signature¶

def sdynpy.node_array(id=1, coordinate=array([0, 0, 0]), color=1, def_cs=1, disp_cs=1, structured_array=None)

Creates an array that specifies nodes in the geometry

Creates an array of nodes that specify positions of sensors in a test or analysis. Node arrays can be created using a numpy structured array or individual arrays for each attribute. Multidimensional arrays can be used.

Parameters¶

• id : ndarray Integer array corresponding to the id of the node. Input will be cast to an integer (i.e. 2.0 -> 2, 1.9 -> 1)

• coordinate : ndarray Positions of the nodes in space

• color : ndarray color of the nodes as integers

• def_cs : ndarray Coordinate system where the node’s position is defined

• disp_cs : ndarray Coordinate system where the node’s displacements are defined

• structured_array : ndarray (structured) Alternatively to the individual attributes, a single numpy structured array can be passed, which should have the same name as the inputs to the function listed above.

Returns¶

• node_array : NodeArray
