Create Property By Element ID
Use the Create Properties/Beam sections For Each Element tool to create a new property with the same ID as the element by copying the existing 1D and 2D element property and assigning it to the component/part.
This is useful for creating a GFEM-global FE model for size and beam section optimization using the design explorer (DSVAR shell thickness and standard beam section dimensions for every element).
- From the menu bar, click .

Select 1D and 2D elements.
You have the option to copy and create a new BEAM section for the design explorer design variable with element ID.
- Click OK.
