I totally agree! Also, I would also argue for storing the self-weight calculated by the LoadsUpdater (at the final step) as a vertex attribute. Ditto for residual forces.
By the way Ricardo... do you mean attr['q'] = q[index, 0]
This also @tkmmark
An enhancement could be actually to allow Loads3D(True/False) since for some problems the updates on the loads don't need to occur. And in any case I guess storing the information at the end of the calculation always will always be helpful...
Yes it is very useful... especially when we are doing post-TNA-vertical correction with FD, so that we could simply feed one form diagram output (from TNA) to the FD method.
let me know if it is indeed fixed
In other contexts after the vertical equilibrium it may be useful to keep the qs that resulted in the required height.
attr['q'] = attr['f'] / form.edge_length(u,v) or attr['q'] = f[index, 0]
Is that any reason why we don't store the 'q's?
