ST7-1.57.20.2 User Defined Beam Matrix
Strand7 allows for the definition of a user defined beam element (UDB) to be used to represent a component in place of modelling the component itself. In some cases the stiffness of the component will be available from manufacturers data or in others from a detailed finite element model.
This document will briefly discuss the theory behind the UDB and also give examples on how to determine what stiffness values should be used.
This Webnote should be accompanied by the following models:
