RE: PMEMBER BETA ANGLE
Your expectation is reasonable but unfortunately there is no way of assigning the beta to PMEMBERs as of now.

Given that physical members should be declared using the same shapes, can the user specify a beta angle for an individual pmember and have that rotation applied to all the shapes of that pmember?

Dear Sir,I am doing a RC structural design. In my design, I don't want the beam to take any torsion moment, so I release the Mx for all the beam. My question are:1. Is it the correct way to release...

Hi1. Is it the correct way to release moment Mx if I do not want to design the beam to take torsion?Though it is unlikely that a RC beam is allowed to rotate about its own axis or cannot resist...
