*TRANSVERSE SHEAR STIFFNESS
19.12 *TRANSVERSESHEAR STIFFNESS: Define transverse shear stiffness for beams and
shells.
This option must be used in conjunction with the *BEAM GENERAL SECTION option, the *BEAM
SECTION option, the *COHESIVE SECTION option, the *SHELL GENERAL SECTION option, or the
*SHELL SECTION option. The transverse shear stiffness defined with this option affectsonly the transverse
shear flexible elements whose section propertiesare defined by the immediately preceding section option.

Data line when used with cohesive sections, shell sections, and *BEAM GENERAL SECTION,
SECTION=MESHED:
First (and only) line:
1. Value of the shear stiffness of the sectionin the first direction, .
2. Value of the shear stiffness of the section in the second direction, .
3. Value of the coupling term in the shear stiffnessof the section, .
If either value or is omitted or given as zero, the nonzero value will be used forboth.
