*BEAM SECTION OFFSET

Define an offset for the beam cross-section origin.

This option can be used only in conjunction with the BEAM GENERAL SECTION option for the standard cross-sections available in the beam cross-section library (See Beam element cross-section orientation for details). It is used to define an offset for the cross-section origin from the beam axis with respect to the local (1, 2) axis system.

There are no parameters associated with this option.
