Beam.get_dimensions_relative_to_side

Beam.get_dimensions_relative_to_side(ref_side_index)

Returns the perpendicular and parallel dimensions of the beam to the given reference side.

Parameters:

ref_side_indexint

The index of the reference side to which the dimensions should be calculated.

Returns:

tuple(float, float)

The perpendicular and parallel dimensions of the beam to the reference side.

• Perpendicular dimension: The measurement at a right angle to the reference side.

• Parallel dimension: The measurement along the same direction as the reference side.
