Torsional feature - 3D fiber section

Post by yalham »

Hey everyone ...

For modeling of a "fiber section" in a 3D model, torsional stiffness is required and should be concocted within definition of the fiber section (i.e. G*J).
Is it required to add something for torsion, via section aggregator, for example a linear section for torsion?

thanks in advance

Yes you can use the section aggregator to add the torsion
