1D Section Properties?

Hi,

This is a dumb question but I'm kind of lost!

Could anyone tell me where I can find definition of the cross section dimentions (like l,h,b1,b2,t1,t2 and t3 in the attached capture screen)?

If the cross section is a circle, obviously the only dimention to be defined is the radius but how about an I-section!!!? I tried the HM documentation but I didn't find anything there!!!

Thank you,

-Sam

Hi Sam

parameters in card image is solver specific

you will see their definition in solver manual, not hypermesh

Hi maysam,

For defining the cross section for 1D Elements, Go to 1D>Hyperbeam>Standard Solids> Standard section library (Will allow u to select the type of solver)> Standard section type (Example Select 'Solid Circle')> Create

Will open 'HYPERBEAM VIEW' There u can define the parameters.

Note: Before that u have to create a 1D beam property.

Hi,

In Ansys profile the beam element type created is beam188 type.

Please go through the attached tutorial which shows the same.
