Hello, I have a problem when doing a simulation with a beam bending.

I want to apply the specific radius of curvature to beam.

How to solve the problem by using the boundary condition?

Hi

if you have a regular beam, a moment load will give you a radius of curvature type shape.
Then you can use the new 4.4 "curv" variables, see the help "Geometric Variables and Mesh Variables" to measure the average curvature and drive the moment load until you get the desired value

Good luck
