Flexibility Elements > Flexibility Matrix
Definition of a user defined flexibility matrix. The flexibility matrix is related to the local coordinate system of the element. Any required direction or eccentricity transformation is performed by the program in accordance with the defined angle and eccentricity parameters.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
From/To/Step | Element series, for which the section properties are input/modified. |
Element type | Type of the element(s) (see Structure > Elements > Info ) |
Aero class / EccType | Irrelevant in this context |
Flexibility Matrix | Input window for entering the components of the 4 sub-matrices of the flexibility matrix. Due to symmetry conditions only one of the matrices F12 and F21 needs to be defined.
