https://bladednextgen.dnv.com/schema/0.4.1/Components/Tower/TowerCan/TowerCanPropertiesExplicit/TowerCanPropertiesExplicit.json

The definition of a single tower can cross-section where any physical properties can be explicitly specified if they are different to those specified in the BaseSection.

• OutsideDiameter: number (m)
• MassPerUnitLength: number (kg/m)
• BendingStiffness: number (Nm²/rad)
• ShearStiffness: number (N)
• TorsionalProperties: object (TowerCanTorsionalProperties)

Properties

OutsideDiameter: number (m), optional

The external diameter of the can at this location.

MassPerUnitLength: number (kg/m)

The mass per unit length of the can.

BendingStiffness: number (Nm²/rad)

The bending stiffness of the cross section.

ShearStiffness: number (N), optional

The shear stiffness orshear modulus of the cross section.

TorsionalProperties: object(TowerCanTorsionalProperties), optional

The properties necessary to model the torsional degree of freedom of a tower can.
