*TRANSVERSE SHEAR STIFFNESS
19.12 *TRANSVERSE SHEAR STIFFNESS: Define transverse shear stiffness for beams and
shells.
This option must be used in conjunction with the *BEAM GENERAL SECTION option, the *BEAM
SECTION option, the *COHESIVE SECTION option, the *SHELL GENERAL SECTION option, or the
*SHELL SECTION option. The transverse shear stiffness defined with this option affects only the transverse
shear flexible elements whose section properties are defined by the immediately preceding section option.

Data line when used with cohesive sections, shell sections, and *BEAM GENERAL SECTION,
SECTION=MESHED:
First (and only) line:
1. Value of the shear stiffness of the section in the first direction, .
2. Value of the shear stiffness of the section in the second direction, .
3. Value of the coupling term in the shear stiffness of the section, .
If either value or is omitted or given as zero, the nonzero value will be used for both.
