EID |
Element identification number. (Integer > 0) |
|
PID |
Identification number of a PTUBE property entry. (Default = EID, Integer > 0) |
|
G1,G2 |
Grid point identification numbers of connection points. (Integer > 0; G1 ¹ G2) |
Element identification numbers must be unique with respect to all other element identification numbers.
Only one TUBE element may be defined on a single entry.
CTUBE data is converted to CROD data as it is read into OptiStruct. PTUBE data is converted into PROD data.
