Beam stiffness matrix

Beam stiffness matrix

Beam stiffness matrix

(OP)
Hi guys, I am looking at a simple cantilever beam, trying to obtain the 3x3 stiffness tensor (in the standard coord sys) for a point on the end of the beam. However I have not had much luck looking so far so thought I would ask here. I am using Ansys v15

Thanks

RE: Beam stiffness matrix

You can try *dmat, stif_tenz, d, import, ... Check rest in the help, look for emat file you have to have the element stiffness tensor you want to be the one selected.
