Detailed Description

Zero length element.

The ZeroLength class represents an element defined by two nodes at the same geometric location, hence it has zero length. The nodes are connected by of uniaxial materials to represent the force-deformation relationship for the element. ZeroLength elements are constructed with a tag in a domain of dimension 1, 2, or 3, connected by nodes {Nd1} and {Nd2}. The vector x defines the local x-axis for the element and the vector yprime lies in the local x-y plane for the element. The local z-axis is the cross product between x and yprime, and the local y-axis is the cross product between the local z-axis and x.

setDomain()

void XC::ZeroLength::setDomain ( Domain *  theDomain )

virtual

Set the elemento domain.

to set a link to the enclosing Domain and to set the node pointers. also determines the number of dof associated with the ZeroLength element, we set matrix and vector pointers, allocate space for t matrix and define it as the basic deformation- displacement transformation matrix.

Sets the element type and matrix dimensions from element dimension and the number of DOF of the connected nodes.

update()

int XC::ZeroLength::update ( void  )

virtual

Updates the element state.

This method is invoked after the response quantities have been updated in the Domain, but not necessarily committed, e.g. during a non-linear Newton-Raphson solution algorithm. To return \(0\) if successful, a negative number if not. This base class implementation returns 0.
