Is it possible via cut/paste to insert a repeated APDL command to multiple geometric objects at once? I can do it one at a time, but it's a bit tedious. I would to specify the same commands on 300 beams.

Thanks!

You can copy/paste the command object from one geometry body to another

It may be better to use a single command object to make the changes. For example, you can insert a command object under the analysis branch and make the changes to the beam
Example commands to use:
/prep7 ! go to preprocessor
esel,s,enam,,188 !select all beam 188 elements
________ ! Use commands to modify the selected elements
allsel ! make all elements active
/solu !go to solution processor
