28.4.2 Warping element library
Product: Abaqus/Standard
Element types
| WARP2D3 | 3-node linear two-dimensional warping element |
| WARP2D4 | 4-node bilinear two-dimensional warping element |
Element output
No output is available for these element types. The two-dimensional warping elements are used to calculate the out-of-plane warping function for beams using a meshed cross-section. This warping function can be viewed in the Visualization module of Abaqus/CAE. The derivatives of the warping function are used to calculate the shear strain and stress at the integration points of the elements due to torsion.
