LINK8
LINK8
(OP)
Hi,
I want to change cross section shape of the LINK8 element. I can change cross sectional area but I cant change the shape.
I used sections-beam-common sections and selected circular as sub type. But when I draw LINK 8 it appears as a rectangular shape. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? Thank you!!

RE: LINK8
If you need to model bending, perhaps a BEAM188 or BEAM189 element would be more appropriate. BEAM188 elements handle bending and can accept a generalized cross section for an input. Check out the Ansys Element reference for more details.
