Material
Material is the parameter, that significantly affects the stiffness of member. The material is given by material characteristics (constants that describe behaviour of material under applied load).
Material characteristics
Following material characteristics are used in the analysis:
E |
|
G |
|
α |
|
γ |
|
All material characteristics use certain units. These units have to be respected when entering the values manually.
Input of material
The material can be specified using following ways:
- The material can be selected from pre-defined database. The material characteristics loaded from the database will be used.
- The material characteristics can be specified manually by the user.
