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 composite layups.
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.
Define material calibrations.
For information on defining inertia, see Inertia. For information on defining skin reinforcements, see Skin and stringer reinforcements. For information on defining springs and dashpots, see Springs and dashpots.
Entering and exiting the Property module Understanding properties Which properties can I assign to a part? Understanding the Property module editors Using material libraries Using the Property module toolbox Creating and editing materials Defining general material data Defining mechanical material models Defining thermal material models Defining electrical and magnetic material models Defining other types of material models Creating and editing sections Creating and editing composite layups Assigning sections, orientations, normals, and tangents to a part Using discrete orientations for material orientations and composite layup orientations Creating material calibrations Using the Special menu in the Property module Using the Query toolset to obtain assignment information
