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

Position and Axis System

The output characteristics can be expressed at the given positions in the element and in different axis systems:

Characteristics Position Axis System
Point force vector Nodes of element Global
