Member1D parameter

WARNING

GSA-Grasshopper plugin [GsaGH] is pre-release and under active development, including further testing to be undertaken. It is provided "as-is" and you bear the risk of using it. Future versions may contain breaking changes. Any files, results, or other types of output information created using GsaGH should not be relied upon without thorough and independent checking.

Description

Members in GSA are geometrical objects used for Design that can automatically find intersections with other members. From those members we can create the elements used for analysis. Members are as such more closely related to building objects, like a beam, column, slab or wall.

A Member1D is the linear geometry resembling for instance a column or a beam. They can be defined geometrically by a PolyCurve consisting of lines and arcs.

	Member type	Member type; (0) Generic 1D, (2) Beam, (3) Column, (6) Cantilever, (8) Composite, (9) Pile, (11) Void cutter.
	Analysis element type	Element type; (1) Bar, (2) Beam, (3) Spring, (9) Link, (10) Cable, (19) Spacer, (20) Strut, (21) Tie, (23) Rod, (24) Damper.
	Offset	Member offset.
	Start release	Release condition at start point as a Bool6 parameter.
	End release	Release condition at end point as a Bool6 parameter.
	Orientation angle	Member orientation angle.
	Orientation node	Member orientation node.
	Mesh size	Target mesh size defined by a unit number Length.
	Mesh with others	Set if member intersects with other members.
	Group	Member group number.
	Name	Member name.
