Geometric properties Element

Description

PABUSH lets you specify the bushing properties for an associated bushing element.

Format

<PABUSH

      id       = "integer"

      kx       = "real"

      cx       = "real"

      ky       = "real"

      cy       = "real"

      kz       = "real"

      cz       = "real"

      ktx      = "real"

      ctx      = "real"

      kty      = "real"

      cty      = "real"

      ktz      = "real"

      ctz      = "real"

      graph    = "integer"

/>

Attributes

id

Unique bushing property identification number.

kx, ky, kz

Bushing stiffness in the X, Y and Z directions.

cx, cy, cz

Bushing damping coefficients in the X, Y and Z directions.

ktx, kty, ktz

Bushing torsional stiffness in the local X, Y and Z directions.

ctx, cty, ctz

Bushing torsional damping coefficient in the local X, Y and Z directions.

graph

A post processing flag that determines how this element is represented in the animation H3D. Default is 0.

Comments

1.This type of property card is used to specify the bushing element’s stiffness and damping coefficients. Each bushing property element must have a unique identification number.
2.graph is a post processing flag that determines how this element will be represented in the animation H3D file.
graph = “0” implies that this element will not be represented in the H3D
graph = “1” implies that this element will be represented as a line drawn between the two connecting nodes for which the bushing is defined.

Example

The example demonstrates the definition of a PABUSH property element.

<PABUSH id="2" kx="1000.0" cx="0.001" ky="1000.0" cy="0.001" kz="1000.0" cz="0.001"   ktx="1000000000.0" ctx="0.001" kty="1000000000.0" cty="0.001" ktz="1000000000.0" ctz="0.001"/>
