Model.beamsectionsetdatageneric

Model.beamsectionsetdatageneric(double_array, string_array, beam_sect_id)

Updating a generic beam section requires two functions of which this is the second. This function will update all data for a generic type beam section. The function Model.beamsectionsetdataroot() should precede use of this function.

Beam section data cannot be updated piecemeal with this function; all data must be known for the beam and sent in as arguments.

Parameters:

• double_array (hwDoubleList) –

  The ID of the double array that contains the additional input parameters.

  The contents of this array are the results values for the beam section. The values should be in the same order as those listed in the string_array. Any results not given will be set to zero.

• string_array (hwStringList) –

  The ID of the string array that contains the additional input parameters.

  The contents of this array are the identifying names of the results types for a beam section. The correct syntax is required to recognize the results types. The following is a list of all results types. Not all types need to be given, but those that are not will be set to zero.Update table

• beam_sect_id (unsigned int) – The ID of the shell or solid beam section to update.

Example

Update the parameter data for a shell type section with ID 4. Only the area and centroidal moment-of-inertia values are defined, all others are set to 0.
