LHalfLapJoint

class compas_timber.connections.LHalfLapJoint

Bases: LapJoint

Represents a L-Lap type joint which joins the ends of two beams, trimming the main beam.

This joint type is compatible with beams in L topology.

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

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_extensions	Calculates and adds the necessary extensions to the beams.
add_features	Adds the features defined by this joint to affected beam(s).

Inherited Methods

ToString	Converts the instance to a string.
check_elements_compatibility	Checks if the beams are compatible for the creation of the joint.
copy	Make an independent copy of the data object.
create	Creates an instance of this joint and creates the new connection in model.

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.
get_main_cutting_frame
restore_beams_from_keys	After de-serialization, restores references to the main and cross beams saved in the model.
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.
