Shear deformation only

Post by mlw »

Hi all,

For my research I need to assess the difference in behaviour of a model deforming with a combination of shear and flexural deformation, and a model deforming with shear deformation only.
Is there any way that I can specify the elasticBeamColumn material to deform only in shear? Perhaps if I set the shear modulus to a very small number?

Regards
