Parameter Description
| Compulsory Parameters | ||
| Parameter | Values, Default(*) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MAT | EL-MAT int | Linking to a material input block |
| INT_TYPE_BEAM_3D_NURBS_KLRod | FULL, USER | Control of integration type. If USER, the optional Parameter GAUSS_U (and GAUSS_V) has to be defined |
| CROSS SECTION | DIAMETER = float | circular cross section defined ba the diameter. A = d^2π/4, Iy = Iz = d^4π/32, It= d^4π/32 |
| HEIGHT = float WIDTH = float |
rectangular cross section defined by height and width. A = h*w, Iy = h^3*w/12 Iz = h*w^3/12 It= min(h,w)^3*max(h,w)/3 | |
| AREA = float IY = float IZ = float IT = float |
cross section defined directly | |
| AXIS | AXIS float1 float2 float3 float4 | Definition of the cross sectional principal axis. Second axis is perpendicual to first and tangent of the curve. float1 is the position on the curve and float - float4 the direction (x,y,z). Base vectors are normalized and linearly interpolated for postions inbetween the defined ones. Axes for start and end knot of the NURBS curve are mandatory. |
| Optional Parameters | ||
| Parameter | Values, Default(*) | Description |
| GAUSS_U | GAUSS_U = int | Number of Gauss point per element. Must only to be defined when INT_TYPE_BEAM_3D_NURBS_KLRod = USER |
