Description

ElementRotation1D is used to rotate the beam profile around the axis of beam elements.

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the FEM ElementRotation1D button.
    • Select the Model → Element Geometry → Beam rotation option from the menu.
  2. Specify the angle by which the beam profile is to be rotated.

Options

Properties

Limitations

  • Currently multiple rotations are not supported (a single rotation is applied to all beams in the model).

Notes

  • To visualize the rotated cross-section it is necessary to set Beam Shell Result Output 3D in the FEM SolverCalculixCxxtools to True and run the analysis.
