BSEC

BSEC, sloc1, sloc2;

Provides cross-section properties of Timoshenko beam elements

  • Result properties are the area of the cross-section, the area moments of inertia, the coordinates of the centroid, the warping and torsion constants, the coordinates of the shear center and the shear center correction factors.
  • For non-uniform beams (tapered beams), properties are listed for the first connecting point (the order sloc1 and sloc2 can be changed to get results of the other end).
