Required parameters
- ELSET
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the element set containing the user
elements for which these property values are being defined.
Optional parameters
- MATERIAL
-
This parameter applies only to
Abaqus/Standard
analyses.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the material to be used with these
elements.
- ORIENTATION
-
This parameter applies only to
Abaqus/Standard
analyses.
Set this parameter equal to the name of an orientation definition (Orientations)
to be used to define a local coordinate system for material calculations in the
elements in this set.
Optional parameters (relevant for mode based procedures, direct
steady-state dynamic analyses, and direct-integration transient dynamic
analysis with linear user elements)
- ALPHA
-
Set this parameter equal to the Rayleigh mass damping factor,
.
- BETA
-
Set this parameter equal to the Rayleigh stiffness damping factor,
.
- STRUCTURAL
-
Set this parameter equal to the structural stiffness proportional damping
factor, .
There are no data lines required to define the properties of
linear user elements
Data lines to
define the properties of nonlinear user elements if the PROPERTIES and/or I PROPERTIES parameters are used on the USER ELEMENT option with a value of one or more
- First line
-
Enter the values of the element properties. Enter all floating point values
first, followed immediately by the integer values.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary. Eight values
per line are used for both real and integer
values.
