beamsects

The beam section may or may not have any results data available. If the requested data item has not been defined, then the value returned is "-99999.9"
center
The reduction point to recompute beamsection properties when sketch or section manager has been updated. Only valid if a sketch has been assigned to the beamsection.
0 - Base point: Computation based on sketch base point
1 - Centroid
2 - Shear Center
3 - Frame center
Type: unsigned integer
computeproperties
The flag to compute properties when sketch or section manager has been updated. Only valid if a sketch has been assigned to the beamsection.
0 - Do not recompute properties
1 - Recompute properties (default)
Type: unsigned integer

Type: pointer
internalname
The internal name of the entity.
Type: string
moduleid
The module ID of the entity.
Type: integer
partdefinition
The list of sketch curve IDs defining each region. This option is provided as a formatted string. Each curve ID is separated by a comma “,”. If the sketch region describes a solid part and this one contains holes, a hole definition may be added by a semicolon “;”.
Type: string array
partmanagertable
The section manager containing the sketch regions to realize the beamsection. Only valid if a sketch has been assigned to the beamsection.
Type: tabular
partmaterial
The material information for each sketch region. If material=”-1.0” and the region describes a solid part, this one is considered as being a hole. If material=”0.0”, the region will be defined as only geometric region. The format for non-geometric materials is “Type,ElasticModulus,PoissonRatio,ShearModulus,YieldLimit”. The only accepted type is 1 (elastic material).
Type: string
partname
The list of sketch regions names.
Type: string
partscount
The number of sketch regions to realize the beamsection.
Type: unsigned integer
partsize
The characteristic size for each sketch region. If a region is describing a solid part, the partsize corresponds to the meshsize for meshing. If a region is describing a solid part and size=0.0, the meshsize will be autocalculated. If a region is describing a shell part, the partsize corresponds to the part thickness.
