In comparison with the simplest element Fig.3, there are two additional deformation
parameters v1, v2, not connected to any element stiffness. The stiffness matrix in local element coordinate system is obtained from bar element in 1D, adding two zero rows and columns, corresponding to parameters v1, v2 :
Matrix of deformation parameters
The stiffness matrix in global coordinate system is then obtained by transformation
kg = TT. k . T , where T is a transformation matrix according to Fig.3-1
This element is used for solution of pin-jointed frame structures, or as a simple model of cables and springs. In ANSYS it can be found under the name LINK1, other details see ANSYS Online Manuals. Simple illustration of its usage can be found in the Example 3.1

BEAM ELEMENT
Beam is a line element with bending capability. Primary unknown function is the deflection w. To assure convergence, there must be interelement continuity of deflection and slope φ. Each node then has two degrees of freedom according to Fig. 3-3.

The stiffness matrix of beam element has the explicit form
where I is the second moment of area, L length and E modulus of elasticity.
In this form, the element can be used only to model bending of straight beams. In practical applications it must be combined with the bar capability as described in the next paragraph.
GENERAL BEAM OR FRAME ELEMENT IN 2D
This element can be obtained as a combination of previous beam element (Fig. 3-3) and the simplest 1D-bar element - see Fig.3-4. It has six degrees of freedom, three in each node

Frame element in 2D is used for solution of frame structures with its members loaded by bending moments and axial forces. In ANSYS it can be found under the name BEAM3, other details see ANSYS Online Manuals.
and its stiffness matrix is derived from the matrices of the mentioned elements:
where T = ES/L, A = 4EI/L, B = 2EI/L, C = 6EI/L2, D = 12EI/L3.

GENERAL BEAM OR FRAME ELEMENT IN 3D
Straight element according to Fig.3-5 has twelve degrees of freedom, six in each node - three displacements and three rotations.
Fig.3-5 Frame element in 3DThe parameters u1, u2 are linked with the axial loading, with the stiffness matrix according to simplest bar element. Parameters v1, φz1, v2, φz2 are linked with the bending in the y direction, parameters w1, φy1, w2, φy2 are linked with the bending in the z direction. Their stiffness matrix is created according to the beam element with appropriate second area moment Iz, resp. Iy .The rest of parameters, φx1, φx2 , correspond to torsion and using the analogy with tension, the stiffness matrix can be written as
