PID |
Property identification number of the associated PBEAM and PBEAML. See comment 1. No default (Integer > 0) |
ISMSTR |
Small strain formulation flag. Default = 2 (Integer = 1 or 2) 1 - Small strain from time =0 If the small strain option is activated (ISMSTR = 1), the strain and stress are engineering strain and stress; otherwise they are true strain and stress. 2 - Full geometric non-linearity |
ISTRAIN |
Shear in beam formulation flag. Default = ON (ON or OFF) |
DM |
Beam membrane damping. Default = 0.0 (Real > 0.0) |
DB |
Beam bending damping. Default = 0.01 (Real > 0.0) |
1. | The property identification number must be that of an existing PBEAM bulk data entry. Only one PBEAMX property extension can be associated with a particular PBEAM. |
2. | PBEAMX is only applied in geometric nonlinear analysis subcases which are defined by ANALYSIS = EXPDYN. It is ignored for all other subcases. |
3. | This card is represented as an extension to a PSOLID property in HyperMesh. |
