We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

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
