Description

Creates a standard solver-specific HyperBeam section. For a list of values that are supported by each solver, see the topics in the See Also section.

Inputs

type
Integer indicating the type of section to create. Each solver has a number of available sections.
solver
Integer indicating the solver the section is being created for. Valid values are:
0 - HyperBeam
1 - OptiStruct/Nastran
2 - Abaqus
8 - ANSYS
9 - LS-DYNA
21 - Permas
type_name
Name indicating the type of section to create. Each type can have multiple available section names.
orient
Flag indicating the orientation of the section:
0 - 0 degrees
1 - 90 degrees
2 - 180 degrees
3 - 270 degrees

Examples

To create a standard HyperBeam T-section having a 0 degree orientation:
*beamsectioncreatestandardsolver 1 12 I 0
To create a standard OptiStruct T-section having a 0 degree orientation:
*beamsectioncreatestandardsolver 15 0 HMTSec 0

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
