CALCPAR Command

CalcPar,<normalx>,<normaly>,<normalz>,<rightx>,<righty>,<rightz>,<sysno>,[verbose]

Gives the area centroid, Moment of inertia and current stress calculation for the active model. This command is intended to be used with model cross sections generated CSECT command. The centroid is used a the origin of the local system for the Moment of inertia and current stress calculations. Stress data should be loaded onto the original model using the READSTR command before the cross section model is generated.

  • normalx – x of the normal of the original cut plane in global coordinated
  • normaly – y of the normal of the original cut plane in global coordinated
  • normalz – z of the normal of the original cut plane in global coordinated
  • rightx – x of the local right in global coordinates
  • righty – y of the local right in global coordinates
  • rightz – z of the local right in global coordinates
  • sysno – the system number where the local system will be stored
  • verbose – format flag for output. The verbose output is a small table listing all of the model parameters with a “<parname> = “ string next to the number that was calculated. The output is verbose by default (verbose = -1). If the verbose flag is not equal to the default all of the calculated parameters will on a single line in the order they appear in the verbose table without the parameter name strings.
