ABAQUS 关键字 BEAM GENERAL SECTION英

*BEAM GENERAL SECTION

Specify a beam section when numerical integration over the section is not required.

This option is used to define linear or nonlinear beam section response when numerical integration over the section is not required. In this case the beam section geometry and material descriptions are combined; no *MATERIAL reference is associated with this option.

ELSET

Set this parameter equal to the name of the element set for which the section is defined. Required parameter in ABAQUS/Explicit, optional parameter in ABAQUS/Standard: DENSITY

Set this parameter equal to the mass density (mass per unit volume) of the beam material. In an ABAQUS/Standard analysis this parameter is needed only when the mass of the elements is required, such as in dynamic analysis or gravity loading. This parameter cannot be used when SECTION=MESHED.

Optional parameters:

DEPENDENCIES

This parameter cannot be used when SECTION=NONLINEAR GENERAL or

SECTION=MESHED.

Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable dependencies included in the definition of material moduli, in addition to temperature. If this parameter is omitted, it is assumed that the moduli are constant or depend only on temperature.

POISSON

Set this parameter equal to the effective Poisson's ratio for the section to provide uniform strain in the section due to strain of the beam axis (so that the cross-sectional area changes when the beam is stretched). The value of the effective Poisson's ratio must be between –1.0 and 0.5. The default is POISSON=0. A value of 0.5 will enforce incompressible behavior of the element.

For PIPE elements with SECTION=PIPE, this parameter will also be used along with the

Young's modulus given on the third data line to compute the axial strain due to hoop strain.

This parameter is used only in large-displacement analysis. It is not used with element types B23, B33, or the equivalent “hybrid” elements (which are available only in

ABAQUS/Standard).

ROTARY INERTIA

This parameter is relevant only for three-dimensional Timoshenko beam elements.

Set ROTARY INERTIA=EXACT (default) to use the exact rotary inertia corresponding to the beam cross-section geometry in dynamic and eigenfrequency extraction procedures.

Set ROTARY INERTIA=ISOTROPIC to use an approximate rotary inertia for the cross-

section. In ABAQUS/Standard the rotary inertia associated with the torsional mode of

deformation is used for all rotational degrees of freedom. In ABAQUS/Explicit the rotary inertia for all rotational degrees of freedom is equal to a scaled flexural inertia with a scaling factor chosen to maximize the stable time increment. ROTARY INERTIA=ISOTROPIC is not relevant and cannot be used when SECTION=MESHED; the default value of EXACT always applies for meshed sections.

SECTION

Set SECTION=GENERAL (default) to define a general beam section with linear response.

Set SECTION=NONLINEAR GENERAL to define general nonlinear behavior of the cross-section.

Set SECTION=MESHED to define an arbitrarily shaped solid cross-section meshed with warping elements.

Set this parameter equal to the name of a library section to choose a standard library section (see “Beam cross-section library,” Section 23.3.9 of the ABAQUS Analysis User's Manual).

The following cross-sections are available:

•ARBITRARY, for an arbitrary section.

•BOX, for a rectangular, hollow box section.

•CIRC, for a solid circular section.

•HEX, for a hollow hexagonal section.

•I, for an I-beam section.

•L, for an L-beam section.

•PIPE, for a hollow, circular section.

•RECT, for a solid, rectangular section.

•TRAPEZOID, for a trapezoidal section.

ZERO

This parameter cannot be used when SECTION=MESHED.
