ospgrillage.load.create_load_vertex

create_load_vertex(**kwargs)

User interface function to create a load vertex. Load vertices are used in defining loads. For example, a point load consist of a single load vertex while a patch load is defined using four load vertices for each of its corner.

Parameters:

kwargs – Keyword arg, see below.

Keyword:

• x (float or int): Value of x coordinate

• y (float or int): Value of y coordinate. Default is model plane y = 0

• z (float or int): Value of z coordinate

• p (float or int): Magnitude of vertical load in y direction.

Returns:

namedTuple LoadPoint(x,y,z,p)

Except:

ValueError if missing one or more keyword arguments.
