4.2.4.2. ElasticTubularJoint Element¶
This command is used to construct an ElasticTubularJoint element object, which models joint flexibility of tubular joints in two dimensional analysis of any structure having tubular joints.
- element('ElasticTubularJoint', eleTag, *eleNodes, Brace_Diameter, Brace_Angle, E, Chord_Diameter, Chord_Thickness, Chord_Angle)
eleTag
(int)unique element object tag
a list of two element nodes
Brace_Diameter
(float)outer diameter of brace
Brace_Angle
(float)angle between brace and chord axis 0 < Brace_Angle < 90
E
(float)Young’s Modulus
Chord_Diameter
(float)outer diameter of chord
Chord_Thickness
(float)thickness of chord
Chord_Angle
(float)angle between chord axis and global x-axis 0 < Chord_Angle < 180
