Required parameter:

ELSET

Set this parameter equal to the name of the element set containing the user elements for which these property values are being defined.

Optional parameters (relevant only for direct-integration dynamic analysis with linear user elements): 

ALPHA

Set this parameter equal to the Rayleigh mass damping factor, .

BETA

Set this parameter equal to the Rayleigh stiffness damping factor, .

To define the properties of linear user elements: 

There are no data lines required.

Data lines to define the properties of nonlinear user elements if the PROPERTIES and/or I PROPERTIES parameters are used on the *USER ELEMENT option with a value of one or more: 

First line:

  1. Enter the values of the element properties. Enter all floating point values first, followed immediately by the integer values.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary. Eight values per line are used for both real and integer values.
