This command is used to construct the P-Delta Coordinate Transformation (PDeltaCrdTransf) object, which performs a linear geometric transformation of beam stiffness and resisting force from the basic system to the global coordinate system, considering second-order P-Delta effects.
For a two-dimensional problem:
geomTransf PDelta $transfTag <-jntOffset $dXi $dYi $dXj $dYj>
For a three-dimensional problem:
geomTransf PDelta $transfTag $vecxzX $vecxzY $vecxzZ <-jntOffset $dXi $dYi $dZi $dXj $dYj $dZj>
The element coordinate system and joint offset values are specified as in the Linear transformation.
$transfTag |
unique identifier for CrdTransf object |
$vecxzX $vecxzY $vecxzZ |
X, Y, and Z components of vecxz, the vector used to define the local x-z plane of the local-coordinate system. (These items need to be specified for the three-dimensional problem.) These components are specified in the global-coordinate system X,Y,Z and define a vector that is in a plane parallel to the x-z plane of the local-coordinate system. These items need to be specified for the three-dimensional problem. |
$dXi $dYi $dZi |
joint offset values -- absolute offsets specified with respect to the global coordinate system for element-end node i (the number of arguments depends on the dimensions of the current model) (optional) |
$dXj $dYj $dZj |
joint offset values -- absolute offsets specified with respect to the global coordinate system for element-end node j (the number of arguments depends on the dimensions of the current model) (optional) |
