Hello,

What should be the input parameter for maxResDist and maxResNum in BeamForce.solve method, such that the beam force results match the results by the beamforces gh component. I inputted maxResDist = 1.0 and maxResNum = 2 as the gh components gives 2 values at each end per element. But this gave me different answers. Any hint would be highly appreciated.

Best regards

Hello @anandshah3193,

  • ‘maxResDist’ is maximum distance between points where section forces are determined.
  • ‘maxResNum’ is the maximum number of points where section forces are determined. Can be overruled by maxResDist.

The corresponding API documentation can be found here: BeamForces.solve Method (Model, List(String), String, Double, Int32, List(List(List(List(Double))))).
