In-Plane Beams
Use the Beam interface in 2D to analyze planar lattice works of uniaxial beams.
In-plane beams are defined on edges in 2D. They can be used separately or as stiffeners to 2D solid elements.
Variables and Space Dimensions
The degrees of freedom (dependent variables) are the global displacements
u
and
v
in the global
x
and
y
directions and the rotation
θ
about the global
z
-axis.
