bstq

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

Specifies the cross section twist and torque relationship for beam sections.

Mechanical APDL Command: BSTQ

Parameters:

val1str

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

val2str

Torque 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 bstq command, one of several nonlinear general beam section commands, specifies the cross section twist and torque relationship for 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, bss1, bss2, bsmd, and bste.
