Hi,

I am not sure where will be assigned beam section (in OS it is assigned to property, but it's not a solver keyword)

what is your section type?

There are some property types for beam. Did you try creating it and assign to beam component?

Hello,

 

In ANSYS profile to assign the element type you need to create ETTYPE of that particular element type and assign it to the respective component.

 

Thankyou

default elem for bar2 is BEAM188 already

just create bar2 elements

if you want to switch, go to panel 1D>elem types, select 1d elems, confirm that 'bar2 = BEAM188' and click update

 

 

Did you create property ?

I have created beam crossection, now i have to assign that crossection for the line (which is 1D element), how to do this

what is your section shape? circle, box?

I don't see anywhere to assign section so maybe you have to input its dimension directly to property card
