Hello

In the Details of the Line Body Geometry: 

 

Cross Section (For Solver): This property displays when your Line Body includes a user-defined cross-section. It enables you to send user-defined cross-sections to the MAPDL solver as either a Pre-Integrated (default) cross-section or as a Mesh section. These options are specified in the Geometry preference category of the Options dialog.

 

Selecting Pre-Integrated sends the integrated cross-section inertia properties, calculated in DesignModeler or Ansys SpaceClaim Direct Modeler, to the solver using the SECTYPE,,BEAM,ASEC command. The Mesh option sends the mesh section data, generated in DesignModeler or Ansys SpaceClaim Direct Modeler, to the solver using the SECTYPE,,BEAM,MESH command. The Mesh option enables you to post process results on the entire mesh section.
