Beam elements in RSA

Hi.
Do anyone know what kind of beam theory is used in Robot Structural Analysis? Euler-beam, Timoshenko-beam or something else?
Thanks

Oh please. Help on Robot sucks big time.

OP, Robot uses either Bernoulli-Euler of Timoshenko beam, depending on whether you tick "Consider shear forces in deformation calculations" in the Advanced bar properties dialog.
