curvature

[soraya]

Hi all,
I have a question,I read many posts but I could not understand.
how can I record two ends curvature in elastic beam column elements?

you can't .. elastic beams have no sections and thus there are no curvatures to be had at any particular section.

you could use a forcBeamColumn element with elastic sections or elastic materials in a fibersection and ask it for the section deformations. (the forceBeamColumn as opposed to dispBeam column so integration points are at the ends).

Thank you fmk
