lateral torsional buckling abaqus beam elements

[Abaqus]LTB prediction using 3D beam elements

Submitted by Staszkinson on

Hello,

Is it possible to predict value of lateral torsional buckling moment using three dimensional beam elements in Abaqus? A lot of analysis is performed using shell elements. I want something easier for now and later I'm going to do my research on shell elements too.

What things should I focus on modelling an I-beams using beam elements in Abaqus?

The problem is that my actual results from abaqus using beam elements are lower about 20% then I expected.
