LFrenchRidgeLapJoint

class compas_timber.connections.LFrenchRidgeLapJoint

Bases: Joint

Represents an L-FrenchRidgeLap type joint which joins two beams in their ends, by lapping them with a ridge. The joint can only be created between two beams that are aligned and have the same dimensions.

This joint type is compatible with beams in L topology.

Please use LFrenchRidgeLapJoint.create() to properly create an instance of this class and associate it with a model.

Parameters:

beam_aBeam

First beam to be joined.

beam_bBeam

Second beam to be joined.

drillhole_diamfloat

Diameter of the drill hole to be made in the joint.

flip_beamsbool

If True, the beams will be flipped in the joint. Default is False.

Attributes:

beam_aBeam

First beam to be joined.

beam_bBeam

Second beam to be joined.

drillhole_diamfloat

Diameter of the drill hole to be made in the joint.

flip_beamsbool

If True, the beams will be flipped in the joint. Default is False.

Methods

add_extensions	Calculates and adds the necessary extensions to the beams.
add_features	Adds the necessary features to the beams.
check_elements_compatibility	Checks if the elements are compatible for the creation of the joint.
restore_beams_from_keys	After de-serialization, restores references to the main and cross beams saved in the model.

Inherited Methods
