For this reason I developed, in cooperation with the +[Institute for Structural Analysis](https://www.tugraz.at/institute/ifb/home/) +at the [Graz University of Technology](http://tugraz.at/), +a TikZ library for Structural Analysis. + +With the package `stanli`, 2D and 3D structures can be created. In the following article only the 2D library will be discussed, but the principles and methods are the same for 3D structures. + +## Principles + +TikZ is a very powerful tool; however, unfortunately not everyone is used to this part of LaTeX. +Therefore, in addition to the creation of the library the second goal was to keep the usage as simple as possible. So that: + +* anyone can use this library without (deeper) knowledge in TikZ +* skilled users can easily modify and customise the code +* the principle of this library can be used for any other library + +## Getting Started +### LaTeX Environment + +Like every TikZ graph, needs also this library the + +``` \begin{tikzpicture} + ... + \end{tikzpicture}``` + +environment. + +### Elements +#### Basic Commands + +The library provides 10 different commands: + +* ``\point`` +* ``\beam`` +* ``\support`` +* ``\hinge`` +* ``\load`` or ``\lineload`` and ``\temperature`` +* ``\internalforces`` +* ``\dimensioning`` +* ``\influenceline`` +* ``\notation`` +* ``\addon`` + +For each element (command) are different options available. Obligatory options +are marked with {curley brackets} and optional values are marked with [square +brackets]. The first type is a must have criteria. In contrast, the optional +input is not required to be entered. + +An easy example is the following single force: + +```\load{type}{insertion point}[rotation][length or included angle][loaddistance];``` + +### Manual + +More specific information about the elements and their options can be found in +the manual. The manual is written in English. Section 1 provides a table +with all elements and options; furthermore, the code is also given for each +picture in the manual. + +### Examples + +The easiest way to create a structure is the list above, starting with ``\point`` +and ending with ``\addon``. + +The following examples shall give a first impression how drawings can be +generated. In the manual the example is explained in more detail. + +#### 2D Simplified Roof + +By using the library ``stanli``, the following graph can be created +in a very short time: + +``` +\begin{tikzpicture} + \scaling{.65}; + + \point{a}{0}{1}; + \point{b}{3}{1}; + \point{c}{11}{3}; + \point{d}{19}{1}; + \point{e}{22}{1}; + \point{f}{3}{0}; + \point{g}{11}{-2}; + \point{h}{19}{0}; + + \beam{1}{a}{b}[0][1]; + \beam{1}{b}{c}[1][1]; + \beam{1}{c}{d}[1][1]; + \beam{1}{d}{e}[1][0]; + \beam{1}{f}{b}; + \beam{1}{d}{h}; + \beam{2}{f}{g}; + \beam{2}{g}{h}; + \beam{2}{g}{c}; + + \support{1}{f}; + \support{2}{h}; + + \hinge{1}{f}; + \hinge{1}{h}; + \hinge{1}{g}; + \hinge{2}{c}[b][d]; + + \lineload{2}{a}{b}[1][1][.5]; + \lineload{2}{b}{c}; + + \dimensioning{1}{a}{b}{-2.5}[$3,0$]; + \dimensioning{1}{b}{c}{-2.5}[$8,0$]; + \dimensioning{1}{c}{d}{-2.5}[$8,0$]; + \dimensioning{1}{d}{e}{-2.5}[$3,0$]; + \dimensioning{2}{f}{a}{-1}[$1,0$]; + \dimensioning{2}{g}{f}{-1}[$2,0$]; + \dimensioning{2}{a}{c}{-1}[$2,0$]; + + \influenceline{a}{e}{3}[.3]; + + \notation{1}{a}{$1$}[left]; + \notation{1}{b}{$2$}[below right=2mm]; + \notation{1}{c}{$3$}; + \notation{1}{d}{$4$}[above]; + \notation{1}{e}{$5$}[above]; + \notation{1}{f}{$6$}[left=2mm]; + \notation{1}{g}{$7$}[below=2mm]; + \notation{1}{h}{$8$}[right=2mm]; + \notation{4}{f}{g}[$S$]; + + \end{tikzpicture} +``` + + + +#### 3D Support Construction + +By using the library ``stanli``, the following 3D structure can be created in a very short time with few lines of code: + +``` + \setcoords{-25}{10}[1][1.2] + \setaxis{2} + %\showpoint + \begin{tikzpicture}[coords] + + \dpoint{a}{0}{0}{0}; + \dpoint{b}{3}{0}{0}; + \dpoint{c}{6}{0}{0}; + \dpoint{d}{9}{0}{0}; + \dpoint{e}{12}{0}{0}; + \dpoint{f}{0}{3}{0}; + \dpoint{g}{3}{3}{0}; + \dpoint{h}{6}{3}{0}; + \dpoint{i}{9}{3}{0}; + \dpoint{j}{12}{3}{0}; + + \daxis{1}{a}; + + \dbeam{1}{f}{b}; + \dbeam{1}{b}{h}; + \dbeam{1}{h}{d}; + \dbeam{1}{d}{j}; + \dbeam{3}{a}{e}; + \dbeam{3}{f}{j}; + \dbeam{3}{a}{f}; + \dbeam{3}{b}{g}; + \dbeam{3}{c}{h}; + \dbeam{3}{d}{i}; + \dbeam{3}{e}{j}; + + \dsupport{1}{b}; + \dsupport{1}{h}[0][0]; + \dsupport{1}{d}[0]; + + \dhinge{2}{b}[f][h][1]; + \dhinge{2}{h}[b][d][1]; + \dhinge{2}{d}[h][j][1]; + + \dlineload{5}{0}{f}{b}[.5][.5][.11]; + \dlineload{5}{0}{b}{h}[.5][.5][.11]; + \dlineload{5}{0}{h}{d}[.5][.5][.11]; + \dlineload{5}{0}{d}{j}[.5][.5][.11]; + + \ddimensioning{xy}{f}{g}{4.5}[$3~m$]; + \ddimensioning{xy}{g}{h}{4.5}[$3~m$]; + \ddimensioning{xy}{h}{i}{4.5}[$3~m$]; + \ddimensioning{xy}{i}{j}{4.5}[$3~m$]; + \ddimensioning{yx}{e}{j}{13}[$3~m$]; + + \dnotation{1}{f}{$q=10~kN/m$}[above left=3mm]; + \dnotation{1}{b}{$A$}[below left]; + \dnotation{1}{h}{$C$}[right=2mm]; + \dnotation{1}{d}{$B$}[below left]; + + \end{tikzpicture} +``` + + + +## Author + +Copyright (c) 2016 [Juergen Hackl](mailto:hackl.j@gmx.at) |
