Dear all, I'm working with the beam 188 element in ANSYS workbench and as it says in the help manual for beam188 " By default, BEAM188 assumed that the effect of warping restraint is negligible (KEYOPT(1) = 0)." In my simulation i need to include the effect of the warping resistance but i don't know i can do this. Does anyone know how to do it?
Note: As it also says in the help manual for beam188 ( the beam 188 element supports “restrained warping” analysis by making available a seventh degree of freedom at each beam node. By default, BEAM188 elements assume that the warping of a cross-section is small enough that it can be neglected (KEYOPT(1) = 0). You can activate the warping degree of freedom by using KEYOPT(1) = 1. With the warping degree of freedom activated, each node has seven degrees of freedom: UX, UY, UZ, ROTX, ROTY, ROTZ, and WARP. With KEYOPT(1) = 1).
Appreciate it,
Hi, I have exactly the same question. Please share if you have found an answer. Thank you
