PID |
Unique scalar elastic property identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
K |
Elastic property value. No default (Real) |
GE |
Damping coefficient. To obtain the damping coefficient GE, multiply the critical damping ratio, C/C0, by 2. GE is ignored in transient analysis, if PARAM, W4 is not specified. Default = 0.0 (Real) |
S |
Stress coefficient. Default = 0.0 (Real) |
| 1. | Be careful using negative spring values. |
| 2. | One or two elastic spring properties may be defined on a single entry. |
| 3. | The element force of a spring is calculated from the equation: |
F = k * (u1 – u2)
Where, k is the stiffness coefficient for the scalar element and u1 is the displacement of the first degree-of-freedom listed on the CELAS entry. Element stresses are calculated from the equation: s = S * F, where, S is the stress coefficient as defined above.
