Notes
The BSTE command, one of several nonlinear general beam section commands, specifies a thermal expansion coefficient for a beam section. The value specified is associated with the section most recently defined (via the SECTYPE command).
If ALPHA is unspecified, it defaults
to zero. If the temperature is unspecified, ALPHA becomes
temperature-independent.
Related commands are BSAX, BSM1, BSM2, BSTQ, BSS1, BSS2, and BSMD.
