In Ansys, plane182 element has this option for axisymmetric analysis.

“Axisymmetric with torsion (KEYOPT(1) = 0 only)”

[https://www.mm.bme.hu/~gyebro/files/ans\_help\_v182/ans\_elem/Hlp\_E\_PLANE182.html](https://www.mm.bme.hu/~gyebro/files/ans_help_v182/ans_elem/Hlp_E_PLANE182.html)

Is such an option available for axisymmetric elements in Calculix?

Abaqus also has axisymmetric elements with twist or general asymmetric deformation. CalculiX doesn’t offer them though and the nearest equivalent is cyclic symmetry in 3D.
