TButtJoint

class compas_timber.connections.TButtJoint

Bases: Joint

Represents a T-Butt 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 TButtJoint.create() to properly create an instance of this class and associate it with an assembly.

Parameters:

assemblyTimberAssembly

The assembly associated with the beams to be joined.

main_beamBeam

The main beam to be joined.

cross_beamBeam

The cross beam to be joined.

Attributes:

beamslist(Beam)

The beams joined by this joint.

cutting_plane_mainFrame

The frame by which the main beam is trimmed.

cutting_plane_crossFrame

The frame by which the cross beam is trimmed.

joint_typestr

A string representation of this joint’s type.

Methods

add_features	Adds the trimming plane to the main beam (no features for the cross beam).
get_cutting_plane
restore_beams_from_keys	After de-serialization, resotres references to the main and cross beams saved in the assembly.

Inherited Methods

ToString	Converts the instance to a string.
copy	Make an independent copy of the data object.
create	Creates an instance of this joint and creates the new connection in assembly.
from_json	Construct an object of this type from a JSON file.
from_jsonstring	Construct an object of this type from a JSON string.
get_face_most_ortho_to_beam	Of all the faces of beam_b, returns the one whose normal is most orthogonal to beam_a.
get_face_most_towards_beam	Of all the faces of beam_b, returns the one whose normal most faces beam_a.
sha256	Compute a hash of the data for comparison during version control using the sha256 algorithm.
to_json	Convert an object to its native data representation and save it to a JSON file.
to_jsonstring	Convert an object to its native data representation and save it to a JSON string.
validate_data	Validate the data against the object's data schema.
