This command is used to construct an elasticBeamColumn element object. The arguments for the construction of an elastic beam-column element depend on the dimension of the problem, ndm:
For a two-dimensional problem:
element elasticBeamColumn $eleTag $iNode $jNode $A $E $Iz $transfTag
For a three-dimensional problem:
element elasticBeamColumn $eleTag $iNode $jNode $A $E $G $J $Iy $Iz $transfTag
$eleTag |
unique element object tag |
|
$iNode |
$jNode |
end nodes |
$A |
cross-sectional area of element |
|
$E |
Young's Modulus |
|
$G |
Shear Modulus |
|
$J |
torsional moment of inertia of cross section |
|
$Iz |
second moment of area about the local z-axis |
|
$Iy |
second moment of area about the local y-axis |
|
$transfTag |
identifier for previously-defined coordinate-transformation (CrdTransf) object |
|
The valid queries to an elastic beam-column element when creating an ElementRecorder object are 'stiffness' and 'force.'
