beamPlotSystem function

beamPlotSystem

Generates heat map for given stress or strain on the beam geometry. Threshold values for the color must be assigned.

beamPlotSystem(beamP, beamT, PlotVal, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j,
                  Oc, ac, bc, cc, dc, ec, fc, gc, hc, ic, jc, LWD)

Arguments

• beamP: Matrix (2 x n) of beam coordinates.
• beamT: Matrix (2 x n) containing the number of the coordinate point as shown in beamP that connect to form a given beam (Discretization table).
• PlotVal: Value to be plotted, either stress or strain, return from function beamLocalStress function.
• a: Threshold 1
• b: Threshold 2
• c: Threshold 3
• d: Threshold 4
• e: Threshold 5
• f: Threshold 6
• g: Threshold 7
• h: Threshold 8
• i: Threshold 9
• j: Threshold 10
• Oc: Color for all zero values
• ac: Color 1
• bc: Color 2
• cc: Color 3
• dc: Color 4
• ec: Color 5
• fc: Color 6
• gc: Color 7
• hc: Color 8
• ic: Color 9
• jc: Color 10
• LWD: Line (beam) width

Returns

Plot of colored beam based on the plot value
