Detailed Description

Base class for model builders.

The ModelBuilder class is an abstract base class. A subclass of ModelBuilder is a class which creates the finite element discretization of a structure: that is it discretizes the structure to be modeled into Elements, Nodes, Constraints, etc. and adds these components to the Domain.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

§ ModelBuilder()

XC::ModelBuilder::ModelBuilder ( Domain & theDomain )

Constructor.

All models are associated with a single domain, this constructor sets up the link between the model and the domain, setting its link to the Domain object theDomain.

Member Function Documentation

§ buildFE_Model()

virtual int XC::ModelBuilder::buildFE_Model ( void )

pure virtual

The ModelBuilder will construct the Element, Node, Load and Constraint objects and add them to the Domain object associated with the ModelBuilder.

Implemented in XC::PartitionedModelBuilder.

§ getDomainPtr()

XC::Domain * XC::ModelBuilder::getDomainPtr ( void ) const

protected

Return a pointer to the domain.

Returns a pointer to the Domain object passed in the constructor. This method can be used in the subclasses to get a pointer the Domain object to which to add the domain components.
