hello all,
i modeled a cantilever column with eccentric loading to simulate half of ordinary column, i get a small displacement at cantilever tip (equals 1/3 of reality,) so i want ahelp a bout updating geometry during analysis in order to getting effect of second order/nonlinear effects due to eccentric load.my software is ANSYS
thanks for all,
for contacting or sending any information my e-mail address:hany_well70 [at] hotmail.com
best wishes.

Hany, Your problem
Hany,
Your problem can be properly analyzed with a cross-sectional tool like VABS to get the beam constants plus a geometrical nonlinear beam code like GEBT allowing you put your reference axis any where.
