THalfLapJoint

class compas_timber.connections.THalfLapJoint[source]

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 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.

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.

copy

Make an independent copy of the data object.

create

Creates an instance of this joint and creates the new connection in model.

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_cross_cutting_frame

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.
