Create Tubesections with TCL Script

Rahul_P1

Hello,

i try to create some Tube Sections with the following script:

#tubesection: 12.7 and 11.9888
*beamsectioncreatestandardsolver 7 1 Tube 0
*beamsectionsetdataroot 1 1 1 2 7 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0
*createdoublearray 6 11.9888 4 4 12.7 5 5
*beamsectionsetdatastandard 1 6 1 7 0 Tube
*createmark beamsects 1 'tube_section.1'
*updatehmdb beamsects 1

#tubesection: 12.7 and 11.811
*beamsectioncreatestandardsolver 7 1 Tube 0
*beamsectionsetdataroot 1 1 1 2 7 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0
*createdoublearray 6 11.811 4 4 12.7 5 5
*beamsectionsetdatastandard 1 6 1 7 0 Tube
*createmark beamsects 1 'tube_section.2'
*updatehmdb beamsects 1

But when i open HyperBeam to control the outer and inner radius of the sections, HyperMesh just created the first section with the radius of the second and the second has got just the standard radius.

Result:
Section 1: outerRadius: 12.7 innerRadius: 11.811
Section 2: outerRadius: 5 innerRadius: 4

Do you know how i can solve this problem?

HI h.alpmann,

You must change the 1 to 2 in two areas as below 

*beamsectionsetdataroot 2 1 1 2 7 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0
*beamsectionsetdatastandard 1 6 2 7 0 Tube

For the second beam section the first entry of *beamsectionsetdataroot - beam_sect_id i.e. The ID of the beam section to update has to be 2
Same goes for the third entry of the *beamsectionsetdatastandard

So your script should be as below 

#tubesection: 12.7 and 11.9888
*beamsectioncreatestandardsolver 7 1 Tube 0
*beamsectionsetdataroot 1 1 1 2 7 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0
*createdoublearray 6 11.9888 4 4 12.7 5 5
*beamsectionsetdatastandard 1 6 1 7 0 Tube
*createmark beamsects 1 'tube_section.1'
*updatehmdb beamsects 1

#tubesection: 12.7 and 11.811
*beamsectioncreatestandardsolver 7 1 Tube 0
*beamsectionsetdataroot 2 1 1 2 7 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0
*createdoublearray 6 11.811 4 4 12.7 5 5
*beamsectionsetdatastandard 1 6 2 7 0 Tube
*createmark beamsects 1 'tube_section.2'
*updatehmdb beamsects 1
