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.
