Seatbelt2D class

The Seatbelt2D class gives you access to 4 noded (2D) element seatbelt cards in PRIMER. More...

The PRIMER JavaScript API provides many class constants, properties and methods. For Arup to be able to extend and enhance the API in the future any constant, property or method names beginning with a lowercase or uppercase letter are reserved.
If you need to add your own properties or methods to one of the existing classes then to avoid any potential future conflict you should ensure that the name begins with either an underscore (_) or a dollar sign ($) or the name is prefixed with your own unique identifier.
For example if company 'ABC' need to add a property called 'example' then to avoid any potential future conflict use one of:

    Description

    Calls a function for each seatbelt in the model.
    Note that ForEach has been designed to make looping over seatbelts as fast as possible and so has some limitations.
    Firstly, a single temporary Seatbelt2D object is created and on each function call it is updated with the current seatbelt data. This means that you should not try to store the Seatbelt2D object for later use (e.g. in an array) as it is temporary.
    Secondly, you cannot create new seatbelts inside a ForEach loop.

{
// s is Seatbelt2D object
// extra is data
}

    Description

    Returns an array of Seatbelt2D objects for all of the flagged seatbelts in a model in PRIMER If the optional property argument is not given then an array of Seatbelt2D objects is returned. If the property argument is given, then that property value for each seatbelt is returned in the array instead of a Seatbelt2D object

    Arguments

  • Model (Model)

    Model to get seatbelts from

  • flag (Flag)

    Flag set on the seatbelts that you want to retrieve

  • property (optional) (string)

    Name for property to get for all flagged seatbelts in the model

    var s = Seatbelt2D.GetFromID(m, 100);

    GetParameter(prop[string])

    Description

    Checks if a Seatbelt2D property is a parameter or not. Note that object properties that are parameters are normally returned as the integer or float parameter values as that is virtually always what the user would want. For this function to work the JavaScript interpreter must use the parameter name instead of the value. This can be done by setting the Options.property_parameter_names option to true before calling the function and then resetting it to false afterwards.. This behaviour can also temporarily be switched by using the Seatbelt2D.ViewParameters() method and 'method chaining' (see the examples below).

    Arguments

  • prop (string)

    seatbelt property to get parameter for

    Returns

    Parameter object if property is a parameter, null if not.

    ViewParameters()

    Description
