GGU-ELASTIC: "Material (beams)" menu item

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).
