General ID Property ID number Name Property Name. Color Select the color of Property. Properties Cross Sectional Area (A) The cross-sectional area of a member is used to compute axial stiffness and stress when the member is subjected to a compression or tension force. Truss Allowable Tension Gap Gap Enter the distance of a gap. If element deforms more than the distance under compression, its stiffness begins to take effect. Using , user can define section easily and specify required sectional data. GTS Section Library provides 10 types of section (Angle, Channel, H-section, T-section, Box, Pipe Double Angle, Double Channel, Solid Rectangle, Solid Round). In addition, user can specify offset options. <Section Library dialog box> Note: Nonlinear behavior should not be assigned to various types of Elastic Link elements, such as Tension/Compression Only, Gap, Hook, etc.
