Attributes

id

Unique bushing property identification number.

kx, ky, kz

Bushing stiffness in the X, Y and Z directions.

cx, cy, cz

Bushing damping coefficients in the X, Y and Z directions.

ktx, kty, ktz

Bushing torsional stiffness in the local X, Y and Z directions.

ctx, cty, ctz

Bushing torsional damping coefficient in the local X, Y and Z directions.

graph

A post-processing flag that determines how this element is represented in the animation H3D. Default is 0.

Example

The example demonstrates the definition of a PABUSH property element.

<PABUSH id="2" kx="1000.0" cx="0.001" ky="1000.0" cy="0.001" kz="1000.0" cz="0.001"   ktx="1000000000.0" ctx="0.001" kty="1000000000.0" cty="0.001" ktz="1000000000.0" ctz="0.001"/>

Comments

1. This type of property card is used to specify the bushing element's stiffness and damping coefficients. Each bushing property element must have a unique identification number.
2. graph is a post processing flag that determines how this element will be represented in the animation H3D file.
   • graph = "0" implies that this element will not be represented in the H3D
   • graph = "1" implies that this element will be represented as a line drawn between the two connecting nodes for which the bushing is defined.
