GSGDATA

GSGDATA, LFIBER, XREF, YREF, ROTX0, ROTY0
Specifies the reference point and defines the geometry in the fiber direction for the generalized plane strain element option.

Valid Products: Pro | Premium | Enterprise | PrepPost | Solver | AS add-on

LFIBER

Fiber length from the reference point. Defaults to 1.

XREF

X coordinate of the reference point. Defaults to zero.

YREF

Y coordinate of the reference point. Defaults to zero.

ROTX0

Rotation of the ending plane about X in radians Defaults to zero.

ROTY0

Rotation of the ending plane about Y in radians Defaults to zero.

Notes

The ending point is automatically determined from the starting (reference) point and the geometry inputs. All inputs are in the global Cartesian coordinate system. For more information about the generalized plane strain feature, see Generalized Plane Strain Option of Current-Technology Solid Elements in the Element Reference.
