PARAM, PBTFCAP
Bulk Data Entry This parameter limits the applicability of PARAM,PBUSHTF properties.
Which,
- Do not have corresponding PBUSHT entries, and
- With PBUSH nominal values falling between the TRACAP/ROTCAP and TRACUT/ROTCUT values.
| Parameter | Values | Options | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| PBTFCAP | <Real> No default |
TRACAP | PARAM,PBUSHTF with TRA/ROT tables will not apply to PBUSH translational degrees of freedom, if the stiffness is greater than TRACAP. |
| <Real> Default=TRACAP |
ROTCAP | PARAM,PBUSHTF with TRA/ROT tables will not apply to PBUSH rotational degrees of freedom, if the stiffness is greater than ROTCAP. | |
| <Real> Default = 0.0 |
TRACUT | PARAM,PBUSHTF with
TRA/ROT tables will not
apply to PBUSH translational degrees of
freedom, if the stiffness is lower than TRACUT.
TRACUT should be lower than TRACAP. |
|
| <Real> Default = 0.0 |
ROTCUT | PARAM,PBUSHTF with
TRA/ROT tables will not
apply to PBUSH rotational degrees of freedom,
if the stiffness is lower than ROTCUT.
ROTCUT should be lower than ROTCAP. |
Comments
- TRACAP is required but ROTCAP, TRACUT, and ROTCUT are optional.
- TRACUT could be blank and ROTCUT could be non-blank.
- The values in this parameter should be entered in sequence, separate by
commas. If any option is not entered, the field should be left blank. For example, for TRACAP=2000.0, ROTCAP=100000.0, TRACUT is blank, ROTCUT=60000.0, the following parameter can be defined (notice the blank field after 100000.0):
PARAM,PBTFCAP,2000.0,100000.0,,60000.0
