Hello,

The information about beam cross section is included only in k-file. Therefore, while post-processing the beam elements on the result files (d3plots) the LS-PrePost will display the beams with the rectangular beam cross section (default). The workaround is to open d3plot and k-file simultaneously (File->Open->LS-DYNA Keyword+D3plot).

Thank you,
Alex
