# structure beam list command

Syntax

structure beam list keyword

Primary keywords:

List information about beam elements.

apply

list applied distributed loads

force-end

forces exerted by the end nodes on the element, in element local coordinates

group <slot s >

list group to which the element belongs. By default, lists all slots with group assignments. If the slot keyword is used, only the contents of that slot is listed.

information

lists general element information, including id and component-id numbers, connected nodes, centroids, surface area, volume, and the hide and select status

length

list length of the element

force-node keyword

list nodal forces. By default, components are displayed in terms of the element local coordinate systems. These are the forces exerted by the nodes on the element.

local

list forces in terms of the element local coordinate system (the default)

global

list forces in terms of the global coordinate system

property keyword ...

list element property information

density

density, $$ρ$$

youngs

Young’s modulus, $$E$$

poisson

Poisson’s ratio, $$ν$$

plastic-moment

plastic moment, $$M^P$$

thermal-expansion

thermal expansion coefficient, $$α_t$$

cross-sectional-area

cross-sectional area, $$A$$

moi-y

second moment with respect to local $$y$$-axis, $$I_y$$

moi-z

second moment with respect to local $$z$$-axis, $$I_z$$

moi-polar

polar moment of inertia, $$J$$

direction-y

$$y$$-axis vector components

system-local

the element local coordinate system
