|
Radio button Cross-section/Specific value
|
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Cross-section |
The element cross-section is defined by assigning geometrically defined cross-sections (named objects) at begin and end of the element. |
| Specific value |
The element stiffness is defined by direct specification of the relevant parameters (CS area, moments of inertia, etc.) |
|
|

| Setting | Description |
|---|
| CS |
Name of the cross-section at begin or end of the first element of the series |
| Step-Type |
Step in the variant number of the cross-section name from element to element in the series |
|
|
