*beamsectionsetdatastandard
Updates the data for a standard type beam section.
Syntax
*beamsectionsetdatastandard parameter_array parameter_array_length beam_sect_id beam_sect_type orientation_angle beam_sect_subtype
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
Updating a shell beam section requires two commands of which this is the second. This command will update all data for a shell type beam section. The command *beamsectionsetdataroot should precede use of this command.
Beam section data cannot be updated piecemeal with this command; all data must be known for the beam and sent in as arguments.
Results will be calculated for the beam section automatically after updating.
Inputs
- parameter_array
- The ID of the double array that contains the standard section parameters. The double array is created using the *createdoublearray command. This should always be set to 1.
- parameter_array_length
- Integer indicating the size (three times the number of parameters) of the double array created using *createdoublearray.
- beam_sect_id
- The beam section ID to update.
- beam_sect_type
- Standard beam section type. Valid values are:
- 0 - Thin walled box section
- 1 - Generic symmetric section
- 2 - Generic non-symmetric section
- 3 - Constant perimeter box section
- 4 - Hat section
- 7 - Tube section
- 10 - Rectangle section
- 11 - Circle section
- 12 - Symmetric I-section
- 13 - Channel section
- 14 - L-section
- 15 - T-section
- 16 - H-section
- 17 - Asymmetric section
- 18 - Cross section
- 19 - Trapezoid section
Note: Not all section types are supported for all solvers. Consult the beam_sect_subtype table below. - orientation_angle
- Angle of rotation for the standard section. Valid values are:
- 0 - 0 degrees.
- 1 - 90 degrees.
- 2 - 180 degrees.
- 3 - 270 degrees.
