SID |
Load set identification number. (Integer > 0) |
EID |
Element identification number. (Integer > 0) |
PA |
Surface traction at grid point GA. No default (Real) |
PB |
Surface traction at grid point GB. Default = PA (Real or blank) |
GA, GB |
Identification numbers of two adjacent corner grid points on the element side. No default (Integer > 0) |
Theta |
Angle between surface traction and inward normal to the line segment. Default = 0.0 (Real or blank) |
1. | The surface traction is assumed to vary linearly along the element side between GA and GB. |
2. | The surface traction is input as force per unit area. |
3. | “Theta” is measured counter-clockwise from the inward normal of the straight line between GA and GB, to the vector of the applied load, as shown in the figure below. Positive pressure is in the direction of inward normal to the line segment. |
