bsm1

CrossSections.bsm1(val1='', val2='', t='', **kwargs)

Specifies the bending curvature and moment relationship in plane XZ for beam sections.

Mechanical APDL Command: BSM1

Parameters:

val1str

Curvature component ( \(equation not available\) ).

val2str

Bending moment component ( \(equation not available\) ).

tstr

Temperature.

Notes

The behavior of beam elements is governed by the generalized-stress/generalized-strain relationship of the form :

\[equation not available\]

The bsm1 command, one of several nonlinear general beam section commands, specifies the bending curvature and moment for plane XZ of a beam section. The section data defined is associated with the section most recently defined (via the sectype command).

Unspecified values default to zero.

Related commands are bsax, bsm2, bstq, bss1, bss2, bsmd, and bste.
