I am working with line bodies in Workbench Mechanical and the “Stiffness Behavior” can be either “Flexible” or “Stiff Beam”. What is the difference?

      The “Stiff Beam” option approximates a rigid beam by making the Young’s modulus 1e4 times higher than the one defined in the Engineering Data Workspace.
