Solver element properties

When in a Solver View, solver element properties are displayed in the Properties Window as shown below. Only certain of these can be edited; properties that are dimmed are derived and cannot be changed directly.

Property Description
General
Active When this is set to False the solver element is inactive in the analysis. Only certain member types (braces, analysis elements) can be made inactive.
Type The type of the solver element
Fabrication The fabrication type of the solver element.
Construction The construction type of the solver element.
Material The solver element material.
Gamma angle

Defines the element orientation about its local x axis.

When gamma = 0, the local z lies in the plane created by the local x axis and the global z axis.

Length The solver element length.
Start Releases
Fx, Fy, Fz These define the translational end releases at end 1.
Mx, My, Mz These define the rotational end releases at end 1.
End Releases
Fx, Fy, Fz These define the translational end releases at end 2.
Mx, My, Mz These define the rotational end releases at end 2.
