6.1. Initialisation

modeller.__init__(number_storeys, storey_heights, floor_masses, storey_drifts, storey_forces, degradation)[source]

Initializes the modeller object and validates the input parameters.

Parameters:

  • number_storeys (int) – The number of storeys in the building model.

  • storey_heights (list) – List of storey heights in meters (e.g., [2.5, 3.0]).

  • floor_masses (list) – List of floor masses in tonnes (e.g., [1000, 1200]).

  • storey_drifts (np.array) – Array of inter-storey displacements (size = number of storeys, CapPoints).

  • storey_forces (np.array) – Array of storey forces (size = number of storeys, CapPoints).

  • degradation (bool) – Boolean to enable or disable hysteresis degradation.

Raises:

  • TypeError – If any input has an incorrect type.

  • ValueError – If any input has an invalid value or inconsistent dimensions.
