Bar Property

Bar property is a physical property assigned to a section of a part (1D). 

The input and output characteristics are:

  • Input:
    • Material
    • Cross-sectional Area
  • Output:

    • Point force vector
    • Stress
    • Strain

The output characteristics can be expressed at the given positions in the element and in different axis systems:
