bss1

CrossSections.bss1(val1='', val2='', t='', **kwargs)

Specifies the transverse shear strain and force relationship in plane XZ for beam sections.

Mechanical APDL Command: BSS1

Parameters:

val1str

Transverse shear strain component ( \(equation not available\) ).

val2str

Transverse shear force 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 bss1 command, one of several nonlinear general beam section commands, specifies the transverse shear strain and transverse shear force relationship 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, bsm1, bsm2, bstq, bss2, bsmd, and bste.
