Structural Element Properties

The attributes of the solution domain in finite element analysis are defined by the data representing the characteristics of each element. These data are termed here as element properties. The element property related action is initiated by one of the 2 different menu items, i.e., "Structural Property" and "Heat Property" (or "Seepage Property" for a seepage analysis) depending on the type of property for assignment. In the case of coupled analysis, it is necessary to assign two different types of properties to one model.
