Eccentricity in Cross Section has no Effect in LUSAS? 1

[netsonicyxf]

I made a simple cantilever column, the cross section has eccentricity.

I would expect moment along the column due to the eccentricity, but Lusas result shows zero moment.

I don't know about LUSAS software, but I suspect the results are correct unless you are applying "load" eccentrically".

The geometry is eccentrical but the load application may be along end face. Try making geometry centrical and applying "load" eccentrically by adding reference node at desired location and connecting it to beam end node by some sort of coupling.

Another possibility is that you are displaying the wrong component of the bending moment.
