Hi

You need one section for each beam – it is possible to automate the section creation and section assignment (to line body) via mechanical scripting.

It needs a script InternalObject which is not great - still see below on how to create a rectangular/square cross section inside Mech. using Scripting:

model = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model

crosssection_group=model.InternalObject.AddCrossSectionGroup()

cross_sec=ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByType(DataModelObjectCategory.CrossSections)[0].AddRectangularCrossSection()

You can take the above and add  square sections and assign them as needed.

 

All the best

Erik
