Comments
- The nb_integr must be equal to the number of integration points given in the beam property.
- /STATE/BEAM/AUX is available only for property TYPE18 (integrated beam, nb_integr > 0).
- The nvars is the number of the first user variables to be initialized for a beam. It must be less or equal to the total number of internal variables used in a user type law (NUVAR).
- The initial state for beams may be defined by more than one block.
