3D Beam-Bar
Input data for beam-bar elements:
• (X, Y, Z) for each node
• E , A, G, J, Iz, Iy for each element in local coordinates
Calculate:
• The directional cosines
• The element stiffness matrix in global coordinates
• The element force vector in global coordinates
• Assemble the stiffness matrices to obtain the global
stiffness matrix
• Assemble the load vectors to obtain the global load
vector
• Solve the final equation to obtain the displacement at
different nodes
