You can edit the characteristics of any beams defined. A dialog box appears with a number of input lines dependent on the number of beam materials selected.
The following designations are valid:
-
EJ = beam bending resistance
-
EF = beam elasticity coefficient
-
E = Young's modulus of beam
-
J = moment of inertia of beam
-
F = beam area
You can display a legend containing the material properties of any existing beams (EJ = beam bending stiffness, EF = beam tensile stiffness).
