  • Damping Ratio (\(\xi\)): Defines the damping ratio. It has the:

    • Structural damping ratio of the beam

    • The damping C is computed from the following equation.

      \(C=\xi \cdot K\)

  • Young’s Modulus: Defines the young’s modulus of beam assembly

  • Shear Modulus: Defines the shear modulus of beam assembly.

  • Poisson’s Ratio: Defines the poisson’s ratio of beam assembly.

  • Update Property: Automatically calculates the Moment of Area and Cross Section Area.

  • Ixx, Iyy, Izz: Defines the moment of area of beam assembly.

  • Shear Area Factor : Defines the shear area factors Asy and Asz.

  • Cross Section Area: Defines the cross-section area of beam assembly.

  • Stress Recovery Points: Defines the y locations in element coordinates relative to the beam center line for stress data recovery. Default value is calculated with Thickness/2.0.

  • Update Cross Section Property Automatically : If this option is checked, property values are updated automatically as geometry data change without clicking Update Property.
