Detailed Description

Database for managing and retrieving material properties.

Provides a central registry for isotropic materials, supporting registration, lookup, and loading from configuration files.

The database stores materials by name and returns IsotropicMaterial objects for use in structural analysis computations.

FromINI()

static MaterialDatabase Phyth::Mechanics::Material::MaterialDatabase::FromINI ( const std::string &  path )

inlinestatic

Create a MaterialDatabase from an INI configuration file.

Parses the specified INI file and registers all materials found.

Parameters

path	Path to the INI configuration file

Returns

MaterialDatabase& Reference to the constructed database

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

If the file cannot be opened or parsed

INI File Format:

[MaterialName]
youngs_modulus = 210e9     # E in Pa
poisson_ratio = 0.3        # nu (dimensionless)

or

[MaterialName]
E = 210e9     # E in Pa
nu = 0.3        # nu (dimensionless)

Supported keys: youngs_modulus/E and poisson_ratio/nu Comments start with # or ;

Example:

auto& db = MaterialDatabase::FromINI("standard.ini");
auto steel = db.Get("Steel");

Definition at line 239 of file Materials.hpp.

Get()

IsotropicMaterial Phyth::Mechanics::Material::MaterialDatabase::Get ( const std::string &  name ) const

inline

Retrieve a material by its registered name.

Parameters

name	Name of the material to retrieve

Returns

IsotropicMaterial Material properties

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

If material name is not found in database

Note

Case-sensitive matching

Warning

Throws exception if material does not exist

Example: auto material = db.Get("Aluminum"); auto nu = material.GetPoissonRatio();

Definition at line 162 of file Materials.hpp.

ListMaterials()

std::vector< std::string > Phyth::Mechanics::Material::MaterialDatabase::ListMaterials ( ) const

inline

Get a list of all registered material names.

Returns

std::vector<std::string> Vector containing all material names

Note

Order is not guaranteed (unordered_map iteration order)

Example: auto names = db.ListMaterials(); for (const auto& name : names) { std::cout << "Available: " << name << std::endl; }

Definition at line 183 of file Materials.hpp.

RegisterMaterial()

void Phyth::Mechanics::Material::MaterialDatabase::RegisterMaterial ( const std::string &  name, const IsotropicMaterial &  material  )

inline

Register a new material in the database.

Parameters

name	Unique identifier for the material
material	IsotropicMaterial object containing properties

Note

If a material with the same name exists, it will be overwritten

Warning

Overwriting existing materials may cause unexpected behavior

Example: db.RegisterMaterial("CustomSteel", IsotropicMaterial(210e9_Pa, 0.3_));

Definition at line 204 of file Materials.hpp.
