PID

Property identification number. Must match with a PID of a PELAS bulk data entry.

No default (Integer > 0)

TKID

A TABLED# entry identification number that defines the force per unit displacement versus frequency relationship.

Default = 0 (Integer > 0)

TGEID

A TABLED# entry identification number that defines the element structural damping coefficient versus frequency relationship.

Default = 0 (Integer > 0)

TKNID

A TABLED# entry identification number that defines the nonlinear force versus displacement relationship.

The TKNID table is currently unused in nonlinear analysis and is ignored.

Default = 0 (Integer > 0)

Comments

1.Each PELAST entry must have a matching PELAS entry.
2.PELAST is ignored in all solution sequences except frequency response analysis. Nominal values from the PELAS entry are used in all the analyses except frequency response analysis.
3.If a particular TABLED ID is blank or 0, the corresponding nominal value from the PELAS entry will be used.
4.This card is represented as a property in HyperMesh.
