Beam property is a physical property assigned to a section of a part (1D).
The input and output characteristics are:
- Input:
- Material
- Local Axis (optional)
- Cross-sectional Area
- Moment of inertia (tree values or six values in the case of variable beam)
- Shear Factor (two values )
- Shear Center (two values or two values equal to zero in the case of variable beam)
-
Output:
- Point force vector
- Point moment vector
The output characteristics can be expressed at the given positions in the element and in different axis systems:
