Field

Contents

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)

Comments

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.
