*BEAMPRO4

Data format:

An arbitrary number of lines with 6 values each

IPRO SHSTX SHSTY SHCTX SHCTY ANGM
...

Restriction:

*BEAMPRO3 with same IPRO must have been previously defined

Purpose :

To define some extra parameters for a beam element

Details :

Parameter Description
IPRO Identification number of the property
SHSTX Shear stiffness in local X axis (N)
SHSTY Shear stiffness in local Y axis (N)
SHCTX Shear center position along local X axis (m)
SHCTY Shear center position along local Y axis (m)
ANGM Angle of the center of mass frame with respect to elastic frame (°)

Note

If shear stiffness is 0, it is estimated from axial, bending and torsion stiffness.
