Thanks for the reply ;)
But in the help file there is no major difference only that 188 has 2nodes element but you enter a third node "K" to give the orientation. The 189 has the third node "L" you enter the length of the element.
I want to know what`s the major difference!!!
Also in Ansys 13.0...
Hi,
I ran a modal analysis of a I section cantilever beam with beam4, beam8 and beam188 elements. Beam4 and Beam44 produced the same frequencies. But results with Beam188 differ from Beam4 and Beam44 . Can anyone explain the reason for this behavior?
