Hi, all,

As I am looking at the keyword:
-----------------
.
.
.
*BEAM SECTION, ELSET=(name), SECTION=CIRC, MATERIAL=(name), POISSION=(n)
1.,
0., 1., 0.,
.
.
.
------------------

I kind of understand the last set of numbers stand for the orientation of a beam section, but I am not sure how exactly it is defined. The Abaqus manual confuses me more as I am reading it.

Any help would be great! Appreciate a lot!
