FB beam column with NDFiber Section

Post by schaf218 » Fri Mar 01, 2013 12:44 pm

Hi,

I am trying to use an NDFiber section to couple the torsional behavior of column with the PMM interaction. My question is if the current force based Beam Column element include torsional calculations or does it need to be modified?

Thanks

If in 3D, the force-based element will account for torsion if it is assigned to its sections.
