Status :
Mandatory when super elements are used
Purpose :
To define mechanical and geometrical properties of a set of super elements
Details :
First line :
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| IIPRO | identification number of the following set of properties |
| Nbseg | Number of segment composing the super element |
One line for each segment :
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Lseg(i) | Length (m) |
| Wseg_dry(i) | Linear dry weight (N/m) |
| Wseg_wet(i) | Linear wet weight (N/m) |
| ES(i) | Axial stiffness (N). If ES is varying with the axial strain, ES should be set to zero and the oher parmaeters should be entered. |
| NBVALA(i) | = 0 if ES(i) 0 = number of couples (e,Force) defining a multi-linear axial stiffness behavior |
| e(i,NB) | Nbth strain value of the curve defining the axial stiffness variation of the ith segment |
| Force(i,NB) | Nbth tension value of curve defining the axial stiffness variation of the ith segment |
