The classic models have beams with mesh section types (SECTYPE,#, <strong>MESH<\/strong>,&#8230;), but it seems workbench (2022R2) is integrating these beams into generic ASEC sections during the import. The mesh section type enables beam visualization and detailed section results, neither of which pre-integrated sections enable. I have verified the .cdb files contain the mesh callout and associated .sect beam mesh.<\/p>\n<p>Both DM and SC seem to be able to pass on mesh beam subtypes, but I have yet to find a way to hand these off from classic. Does anyone know of a way to preserve the mesh beam sections during import? Are there any workarounds?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-357283","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-classic","topic-tag-ansys-workbench","topic-tag-beam"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["338077","3937"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.59"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["986"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["357283"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["3937","338077"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["358226"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["358226"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-03-20 21:31:47"]},"test":"ryan-aufdencampge-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/357283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/357283\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
