Reply To: Which beam properties to use to build a beam with arbitrary sections

[pnoever]

Hi Erik,

thanks for your reply. The problem is first I am working with Ansys classic not with Workbench. And second I am creating and analysing the cross sections and their properties in an external program, which is especially adapted to wind turbine blade cross sections. Therefore, I have already the 6x6 matrices for mass and stiffness and want to part from there with an BEAM,188 model and not bulding my composite cross section with ACP.

However, thanks for your suggestion!
