bste#
- Mapdl.bste(alpha='', **kwargs)#
Specifies a thermal expansion coefficient for a nonlinear general beam
APDL Command: BSTE section.
- Parameters:
- alpha
Coefficient of thermal expansion for the cross section.
Notes
The BSTE command, one of several nonlinear general beam section commands, specifies a thermal expansion coefficient for a beam section. The value specified is associated with the section most recently defined (via the SECTYPE command).
Related commands are BSAX, BSM1, BSM2, BSTQ, BSS1, BSS2, and BSMD.
