Physical Property Table
Name	Sets the name of the physical property table.
Label	Sets the unique numeric identifier for the physical property table.
Properties
Fore Section	Specifies the appropriate beam cross section. Select a previously defined section from the list or click Show Section Manager to define a new section.For more details, see Beam Section Manager dialog box and Beam Section dialog box.
Material	Specifies the material for the associated elements.Select a material from the list of materials assigned to the model, or click Choose material to define a new material.
Nonstructural Mass	Sets the non-structural mass of the beam.
Damping Type	Specifies a damping type.No DampingNo damping.ViscousLets you define a viscous (or non-modal) damping.Hysteretic Stiffness FactorLets you define hysteretic (or structural) damping based a given stiffness factor.Hysteretic Flexibility FactorLets you define hysteretic (or structural) damping based a given flexibility factor.For more information on damping, see Damping (Simcenter Samcef).
