Hi,
It seems to me that your first approach with the periodic conditions should be appropriate. Could you please post the model, so that we can see the what happens?
There are some conditions with nonzero w which sometimes are called 'Generalized Plane Strain'. An example of such a model is stress_optical_generalized in the Model Library. In that model, the 2D plane strain is augmented by an out-of-plane deformation.
By the way, if you are looking for computing the warping of a beam, have you checked out the Beam Cross Section physics interface? It is a 2D interface, where the warping function is defined mathematically.
Regards,
Henrik
