Node K from the BEAMS elements is a geometry reference point which is used to define the local axes 1, 2, 3 of the beam element. Node K, which may be any other nodal point in the system, must not lie on the local axis 1: | Node K from the BEAMS elements is a geometry reference point which is used to define the local axes 1, 2, 3 of the beam element.
