ST7-1.50.50.3 Tapered Beams
It is common to use beams which are tapered in engineering structures. One approach for modelling a continuous tapered beam is to use a sequence of untapered beam elements of varying size as shown below.
This modelling approach could take considerable time for models with many tapered beams, as the accuracy of the solution may require many stepped beams. However, to reduce modelling time and solution time, and to improve accuracy, the beam Taper attribute may be applied to beam elements....
