Detailed Description

This package is used to create and visualize structural elements. It contains three modules:

• This module salome.geom.structelem defines the main classes StructuralElement and StructuralElementManager that can be directly used to build structural elements.
• The module salome.geom.structelem.parts defines the classes corresponding to the different parts (beams, grids, etc.) that make up a structural element. It is used to build the geometric shapes in the structural element.
• The module salome.geom.structelem.orientation defines the classes that are used to compute the orientation of the structural element parts and to build the corresponding markers.

A structural element is a set of geometric shapes (beams, grids, etc.) that are built semi-automatically along a set of geometric primitives (edges for instance). They are visualized with the same color as their base primitives in the geom viewer.
Structural elements are generally created by the StructuralElementManager class, from a list of commands describing the element to create.

Example:

commandList = [('VisuPoutreGenerale', {'Group_Maille': 'Edge_1'}),
               ('VisuBarreCercle', {'R': 30, 'Group_Maille': 'Edge_1', 'EP': 15}),
              ]

structElemManager = StructuralElementManager()
elem = structElemManager.createElement(commandList)
elem.display()
