BEAM SECTION GENERATE
Optional parameter:
ORIGIN
Set ORIGIN=CENTROID to place the beam node at the section centroid.
Set ORIGIN=SHEAR CENTER to place the beam node at the shear center.
Data line to define the location of the beam node if the ORIGIN parameter is omitted:
First (and only) data line:
1. Global x-coordinate of the be am node. The d efault is 0. 0.
2. Global y-coordinate of the beam node. The default is 0.0.
If this option is not used, the section origin is placed at the origin of the coordinate system on the
meshed cross-sectio n model. If this option is used without the ORIGIN parameter and no data line
is given, the section origin is placed at the centroid.
