Description

Computing Euler's Critical Load. Formula: Ncr = nEIpipi /(L*L)

Inputs

This table lists the input pins for this operator. Input pins define the data that the operator requires to perform its operation. Some inputs are required, while others are optional and provide additional configuration. Each parameter is detailed in the sections that follow the table.

Pin number Name Status Expected type(s)
5 field_beam_end_condition Required data_sources, field
6 field_beam_moment_inertia Required field
7 field_beam_young_modulus Required field
8 field_beam_length Required field

field_beam_end_condition (Pin 5)

This pin contains file csv or field of beam's end condition added by the user. If there's no file added, it would take value of all beam's end condition as 1.

field_beam_moment_inertia (Pin 6)

  • Required: Yes
  • Expected type(s): field

Field of beam's moment inertia

field_beam_young_modulus (Pin 7)

  • Required: Yes
  • Expected type(s): field

Field of beam's young modulus

field_beam_length (Pin 8)

  • Required: Yes
  • Expected type(s): field

Field of beam's length

Outputs

This table lists the output pins for this operator. Output pins provide the results of the operator's computation and can be connected to inputs of other operators or retrieved for further processing. Each output is detailed in the sections that follow the table.

Pin number Name Expected type(s)
0 field_euler_critical_load field
1 field_euler_critical_load_yy field
2 field_euler_critical_load_zz field

field_euler_critical_load (Pin 0)

  • Expected type(s): field

This field contains Euler's Critical Load about the principle axis of the cross section having the least moment of inertia.

field_euler_critical_load_yy (Pin 1)

  • Expected type(s): field

This field contains Euler's Critical Load on axis y.

field_euler_critical_load_zz (Pin 2)

  • Expected type(s): field

This field contains Euler's Critical Load on axis z.

Configurations

This operator supports configuration options that modify its behavior.

mutex

  • Expected type(s): bool
  • Default value: false

If this option is set to true, the shared memory is prevented from being simultaneously accessed by multiple threads.

Scripting

This operator can be accessed through scripting interfaces using these identifiers.

Examples

These examples demonstrate how to use this operator in different programming environments. Each example shows how to instantiate the operator, connect the required inputs, and retrieve the output.

C++
#include "dpf_api.h"

ansys::dpf::Operator op("euler_load_buckling"); // operator instantiation
op.connect(5, my_field_beam_end_condition);
op.connect(6, my_field_beam_moment_inertia);
op.connect(7, my_field_beam_young_modulus);
op.connect(8, my_field_beam_length);
ansys::dpf::Field my_field_euler_critical_load = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::Field>(0);
ansys::dpf::Field my_field_euler_critical_load_yy = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::Field>(1);
ansys::dpf::Field my_field_euler_critical_load_zz = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::Field>(2);
CPython
import ansys.dpf.core as dpf
