https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/196955/resisting-beam-torsion-with-only-shear-connections---modelingI have a tube with a torque on it. I&#39;d like to resist this torsion through beam framing into each side (perpendicular to the main beam with the torsion on it). However, the connection will only transfer shear forces. What are my options for modellingen-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/585889?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 May 2020 15:02:27 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:04dbd382-cf16-48a2-9c0b-5e98c2dcf7adRFreund<p>Thanks for the response.&nbsp;<br />I actually would like the end to only be pinned. Torsion is not resisted at ends in this case.&nbsp;<br /><br />Regarding the rigid offset - would that be applied to the perpendicular member? If I released rotation would it still resist the girder from spinning about it&#39;s axis? My first thought was that it would not (that&#39;s why I went the &#39;dummy member&#39; route).&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/585882?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 May 2020 14:35:27 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:19c2d29c-1cc9-45c2-98be-a53750d5a6c6Seth Guthrie<p>I think you could use rigid offsets too, but there is nothing wrong with dummy member, stub-cantilever approach here. Maybe the end of the girder should be fixed rather than pinned.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
