The Beam Properties tab allows you to enter the properties for a polybeam with a circular cross section.
Polybeams panel - Beam Properties tab
Use: |
To: |
---|---|
Rho |
enter the mass density of the material of the beam. |
E |
enter the Young’s modulus of elasticity. |
G |
enter the shear modulus of elasticity. |
OD |
enter the outer diameter of the polybeam cross section. |
ID |
enter the inner diameter of the polybeam cross section. |
AS |
enter the correction factor for the shear deflection. |
CRatio |
enter the stiffness to damping matrix ratio. The damping matrix for the polybeam is computed by multiplying the stiffness matrix by the C ratio. |
