Corotaional Transformation Command

Post by mairead »

Hi,

I have a model of a simply supported beam with a rectangular fiber cross section. When I use the linear transformation command the bending moment I get at centre span is correct but when I use the Corotational transformation command the bending moment is far to small (around 2Nm). I was just wondering why?!

Thanks
