show_constrained and not_show_retained_list and constrained_size Options

Setting show_constrained equal True will cause to plot the retained and constrained nodes connected to each other. constrained_size enable users to determine the size of lines and costrained and retained nodes. By defining list of retained nodes tag and assign to not_show_retained_list, the nodes that their tags are mentioned in the list and nodes that are constrained to them won’t be shown using show_constrained. (Default: show_constrained=True, not_show_retained_list=[], constrained_size=6)

Users also can use RGquivers_size option that accepts an float the is size of an arrow that shows a path from constrained node to retained node. This is useful for zerolength element when combine it with Shrink_size as shown in the second following plot that shows the path of constrained nodes to retained node/s. Also, for plotting nodes that are constrained to another node is useful (first plot).

Example

Example for show_constrained=True, constrained_size=6

import BraineryWiz as bz

# ...
# Create the OpenSees model
# ...

# Call PlotModel command
bz.PlotModel(plotmode=1, show_constrained=True, constrained_size=6, RGquivers_size=5)
