Package mbdyn :: Package bindings :: Module basic_objects

Module basic_objects

The general classes for a node, an element and a reference frame. The Node class defined here is an equivalent to the general Node class defined in 'node.h' and manipulated by the DataManager. The same remark applied for the Element class that is equivalent to the Elem class defined in 'elem.h'. Those two classes are used to defined all the other types of nodes or elements, this is the MBDyn polymorphism. That's why this package follows the same organisation, every node will first be converted to a Node or to an Element by WraptMBDyn. Then the Groups class will try to access a more specific object.

However the class ReferenceFrame in mbdyn.bindings.frames does not follow this complexity because a single definition is suffisant.
