Entities: Beam Elements

Description

In Strand7, beam is used as a generic name for a group of one-dimensional or line elements. These elements are all connected between two nodes at their ends and their principal dimension is length.

In its most general form the beam element can carry axial force, shear force, bending moment and torque. In addition to the conventional beam element, there are a number of other special formulations of the beam element (see Beam Elements: Element Types).
