*BEAM SECTION GENERATE

Generate beam section properties for a meshed cross-section.

This option is used to calculate the cross-section warping function, to define the centroid and shear center, and to generate the stiffness and inertia properties for a meshed cross-section. These properties are written to the file jobname.bsp for use in a subsequent beam analysis using the BEAM GENERAL SECTION, SECTION=MESHED option.
