Interface ILoad

Defines an axial force and bending about the local y-axis and z-axis. It can be used as an input type for calculating IStrength (ULS) and IServiceability (SLS) results.

See Glossary

Namespace: Oasys.AdSec

Assembly: AdSec_API_IDL.dll

Syntax

public interface ILoad

Properties

X

The axial force. Tension is represented by a positive value, compression by a negative value.

Declaration

Force X { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
OasysUnits.Force

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentException	When value is out of range.

YY

The moment about the local y-axis. It follows the right hand grip rule about the axis. Positive value is anti-clockwise about the local y-axis.

Declaration

Moment YY { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
OasysUnits.Moment

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentException	When value is out of range.

ZZ

The moment about the local z-axis. It follows the right hand grip rule about the axis. Positive value is anti-clockwise about the local z-axis.

Declaration

Moment ZZ { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
OasysUnits.Moment

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentException	When value is out of range.

Methods

Create(Force, Moment, Moment)

Creates a new ILoad from its X, YY and ZZ components.

Declaration

static ILoad Create(Force x, Moment yy, Moment zz)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
OasysUnits.Force	x	The axial force. Positive x is tension.
OasysUnits.Moment	yy	The moment about local y-axis. Positive yy is anti-clockwise moment about local y-axis.
OasysUnits.Moment	zz	The moment about local z-axis. Positive zz is anti-clockwise moment about local z-axis.

Returns

Type	Description
ILoad	Load with the specified axial force and moments about local y and z axes.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentException	When any of its inputs is not a finite value.
