*FLEXPRO2

Keywords for ASCII file to be imported in DeepLines

Data cards :

As many lines as properties specified in the definition of the elements in section FLEXIBLE (if the property was not already defined as a FLEXPRO2 property). Each line contains a name followed by 15 or 16 values:

P_0 V_1 V_2 V_(3 ) V_(4 ) V_5 V_6 V_7 V_8 V_9 V_10 V_11 V_12 V_13 V_14 [C_15]

Purpose :

To define mechanical and geometrical properties of a set of flexible beam elements

Details :

Parameter	Description

V_1	Length of the element (m) (if equal to 0, distance between end nodes)
V_2	Cross Section area (\(m^2\))
V_3	Diameter (m)
V_4	Normal Cd
V_5	Normal Cm
V_6	Axial Cd
V_7	Axial Cm
V_8	EA (N)
V_9	Moment of inertia bending in X (\(m^4\))
V_10	Moment of inertia bending in Y (\(m^4\))
V_11	Moment of inertia torsion in Z (\(m^4\))
V_12	Buoyancy diameter (m)
V_13	Internal cross section area (\(m^2\))
V_14	Iflag : 1 : Weight in water (V_15) is used; 0 : not used
V_15	Weight in water (N/m)
C_16	[Optional] Color of the property as an integer value of the form: C_11=1000000 red+1000 green+blue with red/green/blue between 0 and 255 C_11 can take also one of these two following special values: -1 : (or no value) a color different from others properties is assigned by DeepLines -2 : default color defined by DeepLines for all the properties of cable/chain beams
