Properties

UseFiniteElementDeflectionsForFoundationLoads: boolean, optionalcoming soon

When this feature is enabled, support structure deflections calculated from the underlying finite element model are used to evaluate the foundation applied loads. The effect of these foundation loads is included when evaluating the turbine dynamic response. This model is only active for time domain simulations. The foundation applied loads are calculated from the finite element deflections from the previous time step. This means that time step convergence studies may be required to ensure the accuracy of this model. When this feature is enabled, the support structure node deflection outputs will be based on the finite element model rather than the modal deflections that are normally used. This ensures consistency between the foundation applied loads and the support structure node deflections.

default = False

ConnectableNodes: object(FoundationConnectableNodes), optionalcoming soon

A library of nodes that other components can attach to. These will be used to build the model, and can be referenced by the Assembly. The details of what the nodes actually represent (such as their internal node names) will be unavailable if the component is encrypted, but other users will be able to see and reference the nodes by their name.

ComponentType: stringcoming soon

Defines the specific type of Component model in use. For a SimplifiedLinearFoundation object, this must always be set to a value of SimplifiedLinearFoundation.
