*SetPolyBeamProps() - single polybeam

Sets the properties of a polybeam.

Syntax

*SetPolyBeamProps(beam_name, CIRCULAR, density, 
                                       E,        G, od, 
                                       id,       as, 
                                       CRATIO,   ratio)

Arguments

density: The mass density of the beam.; Data type: real
E: The Young's modulus of elasticity.; Data type: real
G: The shear modulus of elasticity.; Data type: real
od: The outer diameter of the polybeam cross section.; Data type: real
id: The inner diameter of the polybeam cross section.; Data type: real
as: The correction factor for the shear deflection.; Data type: real
CRATIO: This argument indicates the structural damping matrix is a ratio of the stiffness matrix.
ratio: Ratio for calculating the damping matrix.; Data type: real
