|
Element series, for which the section properties are input/modified. |
Element type
|
Track interaction spring. An other element type can be selected by pressing the arrow . According the chosen element type the input pad will be changed |
Aero class / EccType
|
Irrelevant in this context |
Cx
|
Spring constant for the strain in local x direction. This value is constant, i.e. the stress-strain relationship for the local x-direction is linear |
F
|
Limit force for distinguishing between the case "Unloaded" and "Loaded". Setting | Description |
---|
Unloaded |
means Fx < 0.0 if F > 0.0, or Fx > 0.0 if F < 0.0 respectively |
Loaded |
means Fx > 0.0 if F > 0.0, or Fx < 0.0 if F < 0.0 respectively |
If the actual force Fx is between 0.0 and F, the spring constants and shear force limits
will be linearly interpolated. No "Loaded" case exists when F = 0.0. In this case, the values for "Unloaded" are taken regardless of the current Fx value.
