Description

ElementRotation1D is used to rotate the beam profile around the axis of beam elements.

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Beam rotation button.
    • Select the Model → Element Geometry → Beam rotation option from the menu.
  2. Specify the angle by which the beam profile is to be rotated.

Properties

DataRotation: specifies the angle of rotation.

Limitations

  • Currently, multiple rotations are not supported (a single rotation is applied to all beams in the model).
