Card 9 - PSPROP2 Plane Stress Elements for Holes and Bolts

This optional card defines plane stress elements for holes and bolts.

Parameters: KODE, N1, T1, T2, T3, T4

KODE

KODE is the code PSPROP2 (or 97)

N1

N1 is the PSPROP2 card ID.

T1 = SELECTION

T1 = SELECTION (or 1) specifies a selection of elements on holes and bolts, which are represented by the group name T2.

T1 = INSTANCES

T1 = INSTANCES (or 2) specifies the number of holes or bolts in T2.

T1 = TYPE

T1 = TYPE (or 3) specifies the type in T2.

  • If type is a Hole, then T2 = 1.
  • If type is a Bolt, then T2 = 2.

T1 = DIRECTION

T1 = DIRECTION (or 4) defines the axis of revolution and the plane in which the plane stress elements are positioned.

  • If the elements are positioned on the ZX plane and the axis of rotation is the Z-axis, then T2 = XZ (or 0).
  • If the elements are positioned on the ZY plane and the axis of rotation is the Z-axis, then T2 = YZ (or 1).
  • If the elements are positioned on the XY plane and the axis of rotation is the X-axis, then T2 = YX (or 2).
  • If the elements are positioned on the YZ plane and the axis of rotation is the Y-axis, then T2 = ZY (or 3).
  • If the elements are positioned on the XY plane and the axis of rotation is the X-axis, then T2 = YX (or 4).
  • If the elements are positioned on the XZ plane and the axis of rotation is the X-axis, then T2 = ZX (or 5).
  • If the elements and the Z-axis of rotation are positioned on the same plane, then T2 = Z (or 6).
  • If the elements and the Y-axis of rotation are positioned on the same plane, then T2 = Y (or 7).
  • If the elements and the X-axis of rotation are positioned on the same plane, then T2 = X (or 8).

T1 = RADIUS

T1 = RADIUS (or 5) specifies the radius of the hole or bolt in T2.

T1 = CENTER1

T1 = CENTER1 (or 6) specifies the coordinates of the first point that defines the hole or bolt axis in T2, T3, and T4, which are the X, Y, and Z coordinates, respectively.

T1 = CENTER2

T1 = CENTER2 (or 7) specifies the coordinates of the second point that defines the hole or bolt axis in T2, T3, and T4, which are the X, Y, and Z coordinates, respectively.
