Are there any ANSYS LS-DYNA examples verifying BEAM161 cross sectional
properties? My beam deflections under bending do not appear to be correct.


Yes, please see the attached ANSYS LS-DYNA 10.0 cantilever beam example.
The theoretical tip deflection is due to bending only, as the shear deflection
term is negligible for long, slender beams.
