Input
(Refer to "Beam End Offsets")
Refer to Usage of Table Tool and enter or modify the following data :
Element : Beam element number
Type : Define a reference coordinate system (Global, Element)
In case of Type = "Global"
RGDXi : Vector component of the end offset distance at N1 end in GCS X-direction
RGDYi : Vector component of the end offset distance at N1 end in GCS Y-direction
RGDZi : Vector component of the end offset distance at N1 end in GCS Z-direction
RGDXj : Vector component of the end offset distance at N2 end in GCS X-direction
RGDYj : Vector component of the end offset distance at N2 end in GCS Y-direction
RGDZj : Vector component of the end offset distance at N2 end in GCS Z-direction
For Type = "Element"
RGDXi : End offset distance in the element's local (+) x-direction at N1 end (for z-direction)
RGDXj : End offset distance in the element's local (-) x-direction at N2 end (for z-direction)
RGDXj : End offset distance in the element's local (-) x-direction at N2 end (for y-direction)
RGDXj : End offset distance in the element's local (-) x-direction at N2 end (for z-direction)
Group : Boundary Group in which the entered boundary conditions are included
