structure beam property command
Syntax
- structure beam property keyword <range>
Primary keywords:
density youngs poisson plastic-moment thermal-expansion cross-sectional-area moi-y moi-z moi-polar direction-y
Assigns a property to elements in the range. The following properties are available.
- density f
density (needed if dynamic mode or gravity are active), ρ
- youngs f
Young’s modulus, E
- poisson f
Poisson’s ratio, ν
- plastic-moment f
plastic moment capacity, MP
- thermal-expansion f
thermal expansion coefficient, αt
- cross-sectional-area f
cross-sectional area, A
- moi-y f
second moment with respect to local y-axis, Iy
- moi-z f
second moment with respect to local z-axis, Iz
- moi-polar f
polar moment of inertia, J
- direction-y v
y-axis vector components (Yx, Yy, Yz) whose projection onto the element cross-section defines the y-axis of the element system
