Card 9 - PSPROP3 Chocking Elements
This optional card defines chocking elements.
Parameters: KODE
, N1
, T1
,
T2
, T3
, T4
KODE
KODE
is the code PSPROP3
(or 111)
N1
N1
is the ID of the PSPROP3 card.
T1
T1
is a group name whose elements are specified as chocking
elements.
T2
T2
is the gap thickness. If the thickness has the form
Tn
, where n is a table number (e.g. T26
), then
n is a table whose dependent variable is THICKNESS and independent variable is EID,
refer to Card 9 - TABTYPE Table Variable Type Definition Card - Optional for
details.
T3
T3
is the number of gaps.
T4
T4
is a code that defines the axis of revolution and the plane in
which the chocking elements lie.
T4 = XZ
, the elements lie on the ZX plane and the axis of rotation is the Z-axis.T4 = YX
, the elements lie on the XY plane and the axis of rotation is the X-axis.
