Upper triangle of the cross-section mass matrix [C].

c_r__rplus1str

Upper triangle of the cross-section mass matrix [C].

c_r__rplus2str

Upper triangle of the cross-section mass matrix [C].

c_r__rplus3str

Upper triangle of the cross-section mass matrix [C].

c_r__rplus4str

Upper triangle of the cross-section mass matrix [C].

c_r__rplus5str

Upper triangle of the cross-section mass matrix [C].

Notes

With a unit beam length, the section mass matrix relates the resultant forces and torques to accelerations and angular accelerations as follows (applicable to the local element coordinate system):

\[equation not available\]

The cbmd command, one of several composite beam section commands, specifies the section mass matrix (submatrix [ C ] data) for a composite beam section. The section data defined is associated with the section most recently defined ( sectype ) at the specified temperature ( cbtmp ).

Unspecified values default to zero.

Related commands are cbtmp, cbte, and cbmx.
