Hi everyone, I recently encountered some confusion. When using distributed plastic elements, you need to assign the beam integration section. The integration point commands are as follows:
Code: Select all
beamIntegration('Lobatto', tag, secTag, N)
tag (int) tag of the beam integration.
secTag (int) A previous-defined section object.
N (int) Number of integration points along the element.
The secTag here is an integer (int). If I want to assign N different sections for the N integration points of this element to simulate the non-prismatic section, can I directly pass in a list, as follows:
Code: Select all
beamIntegration('Lobatto', tag, *[secTag1,secTag2,...,secTagN], N)
Is this way correct? thanks.
