FLEX_BODY

The FLEX_BODY command redefines and/or lists the data for the FLEX_BODY statement that defines linear elastic body.

Format

Arguments

 
Redefines modal damping as a fraction of critical damping. You can specify a function expression or USER and the values
(r1[,..., r30]), which indicate a call to the DMPSUB user-written subroutine.

If you omit CRATIO, Adams Solver (FORTRAN) applies default damping as follows:
■1% to modes under 100 Hz
■10% to modes under 1 kHz
■Full critical damping to modes over 1 kHz
You can disable the default damping by specifying CRATIO=0.
LIST
Lists the current values of the FLEX_BODY arguments and lists inertia information about the FLEX_BODY to facilitate the replacement of it with an equivalent PART.
