EIDfromEta(eta): function to return the Element ID(s) (EIDs) of the beam element(s) containing the baff beam station(S) eta. EIDs is a 2xN array where N is the length of eta. For a given column of EIDs, the two rows are identical UNLESS eta lies exactly on a GRID (i.e. an element boundary). In this case, the first row contains the INBD element, and the second row the OUTBD one. Returns NaN if beam.Stations were not both created using ads.fe.BeamStation.FromBaffStation, or if eta is outside the range covered by obj.Beams. The function should also be robust to the beams not being sorted in order of eta… I think….

GetMass()

drawElement()

getEtaOrder(): order is an array the same length as obj. order(i) gives the index of the ith beam element in order of ascending eta from the wing root. So if order(4) = j then obj(j) is the 4th beam element from the root. The starting eta of each element is used to conduct the sorting operation. you can use this output to get anything you like from fe.beams in eta order, e.g. EIDs = [fe.beams(order).ID]

C: Added properties to carry around stress recovery points. As you would expect, these are the [1,2] coordinates of the C, D E and F recovery points as per the NASTRAN PBEAM docs. The arc length information comes from the rest of the station definition.
