SI Unit Example

EID

Unique element identification number.

(Integer > 0)

PID

A PROD property entry identification number.

Default = EID (Integer > 0 or <String>)

G1, G2

Grid point identification numbers of connection points.

(Integer > 0; G1 ≠ G2)

Only one ROD element may be defined on a single entry.
String based labels allow for easier visual identification of properties, when being referenced by the elements cards. For more details, refer to String Label Based Input File in the Bulk Data Input File.
This card is represented as a rod element in HyperMesh.
