The model contains three cantilever beams of different cross sections with non-zero deviatoric moment of inertia. Each one is subjected to a bending moment about the transverse horizontal axis (y). The bending moment is applied to the ref node of a kinematic coupling constraint of the free end surface.

In order to not induce transverse stresses by the coupling constraint, the constraint is restricted to dof 1 (longitudinal direction) of the surface nodes.

*coupling, ref node=1, surface=Sload, constraint name=c1
*kinematic
1

This only couples the x displacement and the rotation about y and z of the reference node to the surface. Thus, dofs 2,3 and 4 of the ref nodes have to be constrained separately.

Results

The images show the axial stress distribution and the neutral fiber (with color bar steps set to 2).
