Modify FD Bushing

(Standard Interface) Right-click component -> Modify
Defines a frequency dependent bushing. This component is based on a GFORCE element. Frequency dependent data is provided in the FD property file. For the translational directions, the spline stiffness as provided in the property file can be replaced by a linear stiffness multiplied by the displacement transfer function. Direction, transfer function coefficients and linear stiffness are provided in the FD property file. If no frequency dependent data is provided, forces and moments are mapped from splines as defined in the property file.
 
Note:  
The orientation options are not enabled because they are not editable in Standard Interface. You can only modify the orientation by editing the associated template.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
FD Bushing
Enter the Database name of a frequency dependent bushing.
Linear Preload
Enter the initial translational force loading on the bushing, defined along the x-, y-, and z-axis of the bushing.
Torsional Preload
Enter the initial torsional force loading on the bushing, defined about the x-, y-, and z-axis of the bushing.
Linear Offset
Enter the initial translational displacement of the bushing, defined along the x-, y-, and z-axis of the bushing.
Rotational Offset
Enter the initial rotational displacement of the bushing, defined about the x-, y-, and z-axis of the bushing.
Property File
Specify the property file that contains the force data for the bushing.
FD Property File
Specify the property file that contains the frequency dependent data for the bushing.
Symmetric
Enabled when you modify component pairs (or brothers):
■yes - Modify properties of both components in a pair.
■no - Only modify properties of the selected component.
When you modify a single component, this option is disabled because a single component is by nature asymmetric.
Select to display a dialog box where you can add multi-line comments to any entity, to describe its purpose and function. Your template-based product displays different comments dialog boxes, depending on the entity type for which you want to record comments:
■If recording comments for modeling entities in Standard Interface, your template-based product displays the Entity Comments dialog box.
■If recording comments for any other entity type, your template-based product displays the Modify Comment dialog box.
Learn about Recording Comments.

Select to modify force data as specified in the property file:
■TeimOrbit File Format property files in the Curve Manager.
■XML File Format property files in the Property File Editor.
While either tool is active, you cannot perform operations in the main window. After exiting either tool, you can resume working in the main window.
Select to view property file information. By default, your template-based product displays this information in the Information window, but you can choose to display the information in a text editor.
