Hi all, 

 

Is there any possibility  to create beam2n in Radios?

Because there is beam3n at everywhere and when i use beam3n in my model, beam element aligned error occurs. What should i do to solve this poblem ?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    For RADIOSS the element type for beam is Beam3n. The 1-2 node define element geometry, the 3 node defines the cross sectional orientation.

    Please ensure the orientation is correctly defined so that you can sort out this error.

    And even if i create solid circle section for my beam , the section type transforms generic section automatically when i import the model again. Why it happens always ?
