Coefficients of Stiffness, Weight and Mass

Use this dialog to specify values of coefficients needed to multiply the successive matrix elements.

This dialog has the following parts:

  • Membrane stiffness matrix D
  • Flexure stiffness matrix K
  • Shear stiffness matrix H

At the bottom of the dialog are fields for defining values of coefficients for the reduction of:

  • Weight - the coefficient is taken into account during generation of a self-weight load.
  • Mass - the coefficient is taken into account during definition of the mass matrix for the modal analysis.
