Creates a generic design model, which contains all of the geometry and information related to the 3D finite element model. When this component runs, all design elements are meshed into analytical elements. Thus, this component can take time, depending on how large the model is.
| Number | Name | Object Type | Description | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Design Elements | List<DesignElement> | A list of all design elements (including free nodes, springs, restraints, etc.) that make up the model. | No |
| Number | Name | Object Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Generic Design Model | GenericDesignModel | The generic design model, meshed and ready for analysis. |
| 2 | Log | System.String | An output log that provides some insight to errors. |
| 3 | Bad Geometry | List<GeomeryBase> | A list of geometries that were removed from the analysis because they did not satisfy certain constraints. These are only Rhino geometries and not design or analytical elements. This list allows the user to identify locations where geometry is a problem. |
