  Hello,
  
  I face a problem with the beam element in LSDYNA. As shown in the attached screenshot, the used thicknesses give me error termination. However if I make the first two thicknesses with any value smaller than the third and forth ones, the model solves without any problem (but this makes the section depth horizontal). I should have the thicknesses as shown to get the correct beam prism as shown. What would be the solution for this with taking into consideration having the section as shown.

  Hello Fady,
  I cannot reproduce any error with such defintion. Can you please provide complete *PART and *SECTION_BEAM along with the lines of exact error that you get in d3hsp?
  
  Thanks
