.DeployStructLib.Parts.VariableLengthBeam .DeployStructLib.Parts.VariableLengthBeamThis block provides a flexible beam model with a changing length and inertia.
As with a Beam block, cross-sectional dimensions and cross section type should be passed in via one of the DeployStructLib.Properties.BeamXProperties records. Material properties should similarly be supplied by an DeployStructLib.Properties.MaterialProperties record.
The changing length is supplied to the block by an DeployStructLib.Utilities.VariableLengthSource block. Connect the "dL" output of the VariableLengthSource block to the "dL_in" input of this block. The VariableLengthSource block allows startLength, minLength, and maxLength to be set.
