Read Structural Model Data (.k file)

To get the data (effective properties) from the output file (.k), use the sgio.readOutputModel() function.

import sgio

model = sgio.readOutputModel(
    file_name,    # Name of the output file.
    file_format,  # Format of the output file.
    model_type,   # Type of the structural model.
)

file_name includes the .k extension. file_format can be ‘vabs’ for VABS output or ‘sc’/’swiftcomp’ for SwiftComp output. model_type should be chosen from a list of built-in keywords indicating the type of the structural model. See Section Material and Structural Models for more details.

The function returns a structural model (Model).

Get Timoshenko Beam Properties from a VABS Output File

Consider the following VABS output file (sgio/examples/files/cs_box_t_vabs41.sg.K):

The following code (sgio/examples/read_vabs_output_h.py) shows how to read the output file and get some Timoshenko beam properties:

The output should be:

EA = 1653700.125
GJ = 6322.4210975
EI22 = 79466.796504
EI33 = 200742.66655

Checkout sgio.model.TimoshenkoBeamModel.get() for more information on the properties that can be retrieved.
