*BEAM SECTION OFFSET

Define an offset for the beam cross-section origin.

This option can be used in conjunction with the BEAM GENERAL SECTION or BEAM SECTION option for the standard cross-sections available in the beam cross-section library (see Beam Element Cross-Section Orientation for details).

It is used to define an offset for the cross-section origin from the beam axis with respect to the default (that is, without an offset) local (1, 2) axis system.
