Moment Curvature Diagram ​

Draws the curves of one or more Moment Curvature analyses in the Rhino viewport, with labelled axes: ΞΊ across, M up, each curve's first yield in orange and its ultimate state in red. Wire several results to compare them, at different axial forces or in different directions.

Moment Curvature Diagram (Alpaca4d) β€” Alpaca4d β–Έ MomentCurvature_Ξ²eta, nickname M-ΞΊ

M-ΞΊ component
Inputs
ResultsGenericlistThe Result output of one or more Moment Curvature components.
PlanePlaneWhere the origin, no curvature and no moment, is drawn, and which way the axes go.
Left empty, the world XY plane.
SizeNumber10How large the diagram is drawn, in model units: the largest curvature and the largest moment both fit in it.
Outputs
CurvesCurvelistEach result's curve, from the origin.
AxesLinelistThe ΞΊ and M axes.
CurvatureScaleNumberModel units per rad/m.
MomentScaleNumberModel units per kNΒ·m.

The curves and axes go out as geometry and bake; the labels and the points are drawn on screen. With several results, each curve is named by its axial force and direction at its end.
