Node
|
Number of the currently selected node |
Active/Not active
|
Check box showing whether the node is active (part of the currently active model) or not. Cannot be modified by the user. |
Support
|
Code showing whether the node has support definitions or not |
x/ y / z
|
Global coordinates of the selected node |
CX / CY / CZ
|
Translational spring constants in the x, y, z directions respectively |
CMX / CMY / CMZ
|
Rotational spring constants around the x, y, z directions respectively Note: Spring constants are related to the local node coordinate system as defined by the angles Alpha2, Alpha1 and Beta described below.
|
Ex / Ey / Ez
|
Global x, y, z components of the eccentricity of any node support points Sign: Eccentricities are measured from the support point to the node!
|
Beta
|
Angle between the local y axis and the default y axis as defined by definition of Alpha1 and Alpha2 |
Alpha1
|
Angle between the local x axis and the horizontal (global X-Z) plane |
Alpha2
|
Angle between the global X axis and the projection of the local x axis to the horizontal plane (X-Z plane) |
