Hello,
When defining the profile for a generalized beam element in Abaqus, it asks for J. In the documentation, J is defined as torsional rigidity. However, from mechanics torsional rigidity is the product of the polar moment of inertia and the shear modulus, GJ. Does the program need J or GJ entered in that area?
Thanks,
Tom
