T3D2S
3D Linear Truss Using Section
Number of Nodes: 2
Number of DoFs: 3 (Translation, Translation, Translation)
Syntax
element T3D2S (1) (2) (3) (4) [6] [7] [8]
# (1) int, unique element tag
# (2) int, node i
# (3) int, node j
# (4) int, section tag
# [5] bool string, nonlinear geometry switch, default: false
# [6] bool string, if to use log strain, default: false
Remarks
Compared to
T3D2
,T3D2S
use section instead of material. Hence, sectional area is handled by the corresponding section model.The nonlinearity cannot propagate into the section level. So it is not possible to update area in
T3D2S
.
