A bug related to data type

[tkrisnguyen]

I found a bug below and don't know how to fix in ONSAS code. Please help me. Thank you in advance!

using ONSAS
n1 = Node(1.2, 2.3, 3.4)
n2 = Node(2, 3, 4)    # Although I can fix this line as n2=Node(2.,3.,4.), it does not seems natural to represent an integer by a real value
S = Rectangle(0.6, 0.3)
frame1 = Frame(n1, n2, S) # The error appeared as ERROR: MethodError: no method matching Frame(::Node{3, Int64}, ::Node{3, Float64}, ::Rectangle{Float64})

I see the error seems to be that the constructor of Frame expects a Vector of nodes where all nodes have the same type T:

  function Frame(n₁::N, n₂::N, g::G, mass_matrix::MassMatrix = Consistent,
        label::Label = NO_LABEL) where {N <: AbstractNode, G <: AbstractCrossSection}
    Frame(SVector(n₁, n₂), g, mass_matrix, label)
end

There is always a trade-off of how much we want to support this kind of nice to have things on the ONSAS side or in your script. If u see value, you can fix by defining a different node types in the constructor (which are parametric on the numeric type of each node coordinates:

function Frame(n1::N1, n2::N2, g::G, mass_matrix::MassMatrix = Consistent,
        label::Label = NO_LABEL) where {
        N1 <: AbstractNode, N2 <: AbstractNode, G <: AbstractCrossSection}
    Frame(SVector(n1, n2), g, mass_matrix, label)
end
