9.25 *ITS: Deﬁne properties for ITS elements.

This option is used to deﬁne the properties for ITS-type elements. The *DASHPOT, *FRICTION, and

*SPRING options must immediately follow this option.

Product: ABAQUS/Standard

Type: Model data

Level: Part, Part instance

Required parameter:

ELSET

Set this parameter equal to the name of the element set containing the ITS-type ele ments for which

properties are being deﬁned.

Data line for ITSUNI elements:

First (and only) line:

1. Tubeouts ide diameter.

2. Distancebetween the parallel support plates on opposite sides of the tube.

3. X-direction cosine of the axis of the tube.

4. Y-direction cosine of the axis of the tube.

5. Z-direction cosine of the axis of the tube.

6. X-direction cosine of the normal to either one of the support plates.

7. Y-direction cosine of the normal to either one of the support plates.

8. Z-direction cosine of the normal to either oneof the support plates.
