Members

coords

Coordinates of the modified outline polygon

pends

Indices of the end coordinates of the subpolygons

parcs

Arc segments of the modified outline polygon (used with curved beams )

connPoly

Modified outline polygon due to the connections

conBeg

List of beams connected to the beginning point of the beam with their beginning or end point (see figure).

conEnd

List of beams connected to the end point of the beam with their beginning or end point (see figure).

conRef

List of beams connected with their reference line to the beginning or the end point of the beam (see figure).

con

List of beams connected to the reference line of the beam not at the endpoints (see figure).

conX

List of beams having intersection with the reference line of the beam (see figure).

segmentRelations

List of relations of the beam’s segments.
