Installation

pip install beamxs

Getting Started

Import the package

import beamxs as bm

Read the documentation and apply the required method for your purpose

Documentation

Built-in Methods:

• createBeam(len): Method for creating a beam

  Input: len --> Length of Beam Output: beam --> Beam object

Example:

beam = bm.createBeam(10)
print(beam)

• definePin(pinPos,beam):

Method for defining the position of pin support

Input: pinPos --> Pin Support Position
 beam --> Beam object
Output: pinposition --> Pin Position

Example:

pinpos = bm.definePin(2,beam)
print(pinpos)

• defineRoller(rollPos,beam):

  Method for defining the position of roller support

  Input: rollPos --> Roller Support Position beam --> Beam object

  Output: rollposition --> Roller Position

  Example:

  rollpos = bm.defineRoller(4,beam)
  print(rollpos)
  

• applyPointLoad(loadPos,loadMag,beam):

  Method for applying Point Load on the beam

  Input: loadPos --> Position of Point Load loadMag --> Magnitude of Point Load beam --> Beam object

  Output: load --> Applied Load

  Example:

  ptload = bm.applyPointLoad(4,60,beam)
  print(ptload)
  

• applyUDL(beam,loadPerUnitLength):

  Method for applying UDL (Uniformly Distributed Load) on the beam

  Input: beam --> Beam object loadPerUnitLength --> Load Per Unit Length

  Output: udl --> Applied UDL

  Example:

  udlarray = bm.applyUDL(beam,20)
  print(udlarray)
  

• applyUVL(beam,startLoad,endLoad):

  Method for applying UVL (Uniformly Varying Load) on the beam

  Input: beam --> Beam object startLoad --> Start Load endLoad --> End Load

  Output: uvl --> Applied UVL

  Example:

  uvlarray = bm.applyUVL(beam,20,40)
  print(uvlarray)
  

• applyMoment(momentPos, momentMag, beam):

  Method for applying Moment on the beam

  Input: momentPos --> Moment Position momentMag --> Moment Magnitude beam --> Beam Object

  Output: moments --> Moment Applied

  Example:

  appliedmoment = bm.applyMoment(3,20,beam)
  print(appliedmoment)
  

• calcReactionsSSB(loads, pinPos, rollPos, beam):

  Method for calculation support reaction of a simply supported beam with various loads

  Input: loads --> Dictionary containing load data beam --> Beam Object pinPos --> Pin Position rollPos --> Roller Support Position

  Output: Ra --> Reaction at pin support Rb --> Reaction at roller support

  Example:

  loads = [
   {'type': 'point', 'position': 2, 'magnitude': 50},
   {'type': 'udl', 'start': 3, 'end': 5, 'magnitude': 20},
   {'type': 'uvl', 'start': 6, 'end': 8, 'start_magnitude': 10, 'end_magnitude': 30}
  ]
  pinPos = 1
  rollPos = 9
  Ra, Rb = bm.calcReactionsSSB(loads, pinPos, rollPos, beam)
  print(Ra)
  print(Rb)
