Beam sectional analysis codes such as the well-known VABS (Variational Asymptotic Beam Sectional Analysis) usually provide the sectional stiffness matrix either Euler-Bernoulli type or Timoshenko type.

Question: is there a way to directly input these stiffness matrices into ANSYS or ABAQUS beam FE model to capture the 1D global behaviors?
