*SECTION ORIGIN
18.3 *SECTION ORIGIN: Define a meshed cross-section origin.
This option is used in conjunction with the *BEAM SECTION GENERATE option to define the location of
the beam node on a meshed beam cross-section.
Product: ABAQUS/Standard
Type: History data
Level: Step
References:
•“Meshed beam cross-sections,” Section 10.4.1of the ABAQUS Analysis User ’sManual
•*BEAM SECTION GENERATE
Optional parameter:
ORIGIN
Set ORIGIN=CENTROID to place the beam node at the section centroid.
Set ORIGIN=SHEAR CENTER to place the beam node at theshear center.
Data line to define the location of the beam node if the ORIGIN parameter is omitted:
First (and only) data line:
1. Globalx-coordinate of the beamnod e. The default is 0.0.
2. Globaly-coordinate of the bea m node. The default is 0.0.
If this option is not used, the section origin is placedat the origin of the coordinate system on the
meshed cross-section model. Ifthis option is used without the ORIGIN para meter and no data line
is given, the section origin is placed at the centroid.
