Circle Type
Figure 2 Circle type beam
•Radius: Enters the radius of the circle.
•Damping Ratio: Enters the ratio for damping coefficient.
•Get Values from Library: Young’s Modulus and Possion’s Ratio can be calculated from Library.
•Young’s Modulus: Specifies the young’s modulus of elasticity for the beam material. This value is calculated automatically using Get Values from Library function.
•Possion’s Ratio: Specifies the possion’s ratio of elasticity for the beam material. This value is calculated automatically using Get Values from Library function.
•Shear Modulus: Specifies the shear modulus of the beam. This value is calculated from Young’s Modulus and Possion’s Ratio automatically using Cal. Function
