How are SMISC quantities reported for BEAM188?


In ANSYS Release 10.0, BEAM188 is a first order Timoshenko beam element which by default uses a linear shape function (one integration point along its length). Thus, the SMISC quantities are constant along the length and are reported at the centroid. If a quadratic shape function is requested (KEYOPT(3) = 2), then two integration points are used. The SMISC quantities will then vary linearly along the length and are reported at the ends.
