ConnectionSolver.find_topology
- ConnectionSolver.find_topology(beam_a, beam_b, tol=1e-06, max_distance=None)[source]
If beam_a and beam_b intersect within the given max_distance, return the topology type of the intersection.
If the topology is role-sensitive, the method outputs the beams in a consistent specific order (e.g. main beam first, cross beam second), otherwise, the beams are outputted in the same order as they were inputted.
- Parameters:
- beam_a
Beam First beam from intersecting pair.
- beam_b
Beam Second beam from intersecting pair.
- tolfloat
General tolerance to use for mathematical computations.
- max_distancefloat, optional
Maximum distance, in desigen units, at which two beams are considered intersecting.
- beam_a
- Returns:
- tuple(
JointTopology,Beam,Beam)
- tuple(
