*TORQUE
19.7 *TORQUE: Define the torsional behavior of beams.
This option can be used only in conjunction with the *BEAM GENERAL SECTION,
SECTION=NONLINEAR GENERAL option.

Optional parameters (if neither ELASTIC norLINEAR is included, elastic-plastic response is
assumed):
DEPENDENCIES
Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable dependencies includedin the torque–twist
relationship, in addition to temperature. If this parameter is omitted, it is assume d that the
torque–twist relationship is constant or depends only on temperatur e. See “Specifying field
variable dependence” in “Material data definition,” Section 16.1.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis
User’s Manual, for more information.
ELASTIC
Include this parameter if the torque–twist relationship is nonlinea r but elastic.
LINEAR
Include this parameter if the torque varies linearly with twist.
Data lines if the LINEAR parameter is included:
First line:
1. Torsionalstiffness of the sec tion.
2. Temperature.
3. Firstfield variable.
4. Second field variable.
5. Etc., up to six field variables.
