Node#
This method is used to construct a Node which stores information about coordinates and mass at a single point. The assignment of mass is optional.
- model.node(tag, coords[, mass])#
- Parameters:
tag – integer tag identifying node
coords – tuple of ndm nodal coordinates
mass – tuple of ndf nodal mass values
- Returns:
None
- node $tag [ndm $coords] <-mass [ndf $mass]>

Example#
The following examples demonstrate the commands in a script to add two nodes to domain in which the last model command specified an ndm of 2 and a ndf of 3. The two nodes to be added have node tags 3 and 4. Node 3 is located at coordinates (168.0, 144.0) and node 4 at location (168.0,144.0). Node 4 is assigned a mass of (10.0, 10.0, 0.).
model.node(3, (168.0, 0.0))
model.node(4, (168.0, 0.0), mass=(10.0, 10.0, 0.0))
node 3 168.0 0.0
node 4 168.0 144.0 -mass 10.0 10.0 0.0
