Can Somebody help me out? As i have read some forum which described about Euler's beam theory which is used to find out C-II results Considering necessary boundary conditions. But euler's beam theory only find out transverse loads(Fx & Fz as per caesar axes) and it doesn't consider dead weight in that.
How dead weight(Fy) is considered in stiffness matrix of(6*6).

CAESAR II implements the "3D Beam" element, which is defined by a 12x12 stiffness matrix. Dead weight is a component of the load vector, not the stiffness matrix.
