Name Defines the name of the modeling object.
Label Specifies a unique numerical identifier for the modeling object.
Stiffness (Card 1)
*Translational stiffness along***Local R-axis (TKR)****Local S-axis (TKS)**Local T-axis (TKT) Lets you specify the beam's translational stiffness along the R, S, and T axes.
*Rotational stiffness about***Local R-axis (RKR)****Local S-axis (RKS)**Local T-axis (RKT) Lets you specify the beam's rotational stiffness about the R, S, and T axes.
Viscous damper (Card 2)
*Translational viscous damper along***Local R-axis (TKR)****Local S-axis (TKS)**Local T-axis (TKT) Lets you specify the translational viscous damper along the R, S, and T axes.
*Rotational viscous damper about***Local R-axis (RKR)****Local S-axis (RKS)**Local T-axis (RKT) Lets you specify the rotational viscous damper about the R, S, and T axes.
Preload (Card 3)
**Preload force in r-direction (FOR)****Preload force in s-direction (FOS)**Preload force in t-direction (FOT) Specifies the value of the pre-load force on the beam in the R, S, and T directions..
