12. The Property module

You can use the Property module to perform the following tasks:

  • Define materials.

  • Define beam section profiles.

  • Define sections.

  • Assign sections, orientations, normals, and tangents to parts.

  • Define a skin reinforcement.

  • Define inertia (point mass, rotary inertia, and heat capacitance) on a part.

  • Define springs and dashpots between two points or between a point and ground.

This chapter covers the following topics:For information on defining inertia, see Modeling inertia, Section 20.2. For information on defining skin reinforcements, see Modeling skin reinforcements, Section 20.3. For information on defining springs and dashpots, see Modeling springs and dashpots, Section 20.4.
