bsmd#

Mapdl.bsmd(dens='', **kwargs)[source]#

Specifies mass per unit length for a nonlinear general beam section.

APDL Command: BSMD

Parameters:

dens: Mass density.

Notes

The BSMD command, one of several nonlinear general beam section commands, specifies the mass density (assuming a unit area) for a beam section. The value specified is associated with the section most recently defined (via the SECTYPE command).

Related commands are BSAX, BSM1, BSM2, BSTQ, BSS1, BSS2, and BSTE.
