PID |
Unique rod property identification number. Must have unique property identification numbers. No default (Integer > 0) |
MID |
Material identification number. See comment 1. No default (Integer > 0) |
A |
Area of rod. No default (Real) |
J |
Torsional constant. No default (Real) |
C |
Coefficient to determine torsional stress. Default = 0.0 (Real) |
NSM |
Nonstructural mass per unit length. No default (Real) |
1. | For structural problems, MID may reference only a MAT1 material entry. For heat transfer problems, MID may reference only a MAT4 material entry. |
2. | Torsional stress is calculated as follows: |
Where,
is the torsional moment
C is the coefficient specified in field C
J is the torsional constant specified in field J
3. | This card is represented as a property in HyperMesh. |
