ElasticBeam3d Forces and Displacement

Post by shaneoneill »

Dear All,

I have modified Example 1 in C++ to analyse a 3d dimensional frame using ElasticBeam3d. I have the verified node displacements and reactions. However I do not know how retrieve values for forces, and deflection at a given location along the element.

I would be very grateful if someone would point me in the right direction.

Kind Regards,
Shane.

you cannot obtain them from the element .. it's not in the interface .. all you can request from an elastic element is forces at member ends.
