0 Docu mentation for ANSYS BEAM188 3-D Linear Finite Strain Beam 三维线性有限应变梁单元 BEAM188 Element Description BEAM188 单元描述 BEAM188 is suitable for analyzing slender to moderately stubby/thick beam structures
This element is based on Timoshenko beam theory
Shear deformation effects are included
Beam188 单元适合于分析从细长到中等粗短的梁结构,该单元基于铁木辛哥梁结构理论,并考虑了剪切变形的影响
BEAM188 is a linear (2-node) or a quadratic beam element in 3-D
BEAM188 has six or seven degrees of freedom at each node, with the number of degrees of freedom depending on the value of KEYOPT(1)
When KEYOPT(1) = 0 (the default), six degrees of freedom occur at each node
These include translations in the x, y, and z directions and rotations about the x, y, and z directions
When KEYOPT(1) = 1, a seventh degree of freedom (warping mag
