Crate structural_shapes

About

This package provides utilities for a variety of different structural shapes. Currently, the following are included:

• Rods
• Rectangular bars
• Pipes
• Box Beams
• I-Beams
• Composite Shapes

Usage

Here are some basic examples of usage

use structural_shapes::{StructuralShape, length, point};
let x = StructuralShape::Rod{
    radius: length(1.0), 
    center_of_gravity: point(0.0, 1.0)
};
println!("cross sectional area: {:?}", x.area().value);
println!("moment of inertia: {:?}", x.moi_x().value);

You can also create composite shapes that are composed of more than one primitive:

use structural_shapes::{CompositeShape, StructuralShape, point, length};
let mut x = CompositeShape::new()
    .add(StructuralShape::Rod {
        radius: length(2.0),
        center_of_gravity: point(2.0, 0.0),
    })
    .add(StructuralShape::Rod {
        radius: length(2.0),
        center_of_gravity: point(-2.0, 0.0),
    });
println!("cross sectional area: {:?}", x.area().value);
println!("moment of inertia: {:?}", x.moi_x().value);
