THalfLapJoint

class compas_timber.connections.THalfLapJoint

Bases: LapJoint

Represents a T-Lap type joint which joins the end of a beam along the length of another beam, trimming the main beam.

This joint type is compatible with beams in T topology.

Please use THalfLapJoint.create() to properly create an instance of this class and associate it with an assembly.

Parameters:

main_beamBeam

The main beam to be joined.

cross_beamBeam

The cross beam to be joined.

flip_lap_sidebool

If True, the lap is flipped to the other side of the beams.

cut_plane_biasfloat

Allows lap to be shifted deeper into one beam or the other. Value should be between 0 and 1.0 without completely cutting through either beam. Default is 0.5.

Attributes:

beamslist(Beam)

The beams joined by this joint.

main_beamBeam

The main beam to be joined.

cross_beamBeam

The cross beam to be joined.

main_beam_keystr

The key of the main beam.

cross_beam_keystr

The key of the cross beam.

featureslist(Feature)

The features created by this joint.

joint_typestr

A string representation of this joint’s type.

Methods

add_features

Adds the features defined by this joint to affected beam(s).
