Updates the data for a shell type beam section.
Syntax

Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
Updating a shell beam section requires two commands of which this is the second. This command will update all data for a shell type beam section. The command *beamsectionsetdataroot should precede use of this command.
Beam section data cannot be updated piecemeal with this command; all data must be known for the beam and sent in as arguments.
Results will be calculated for the beam section automatically after updating.
Inputs
- vertex_array
- The ID of the double array that contains the vertices defining the shell section. The double array is created using the *createdoublearray command. This should always be set to 1.
- vertex_array_length
- Integer indicating the size (two times the number of vertices for the section (vertex_count) plus three times the number of parts for the section (part_count)) of the double array created using *createdoublearray.
- connectivity_array
- The ID of the integer array that defines the vertex connectivity. The integer array is created using the *createarray command. This should always be set to 1.
- connectivity_array_length
- Integer indicating the size (part_count plus the number of vertices contained within each part for all parts) of the integer array created using *createarray.
- part_name_array
- The ID of the string array that defines the part names. The string array is created using the *createstringarray command. This should always be set to 1.
- part_name_array_length
- Integer indicating the size (part_count) of the string array created using *createarray.
- beam_sect_id
- The ID of the beam section to update.
- part_count
- The number of parts in the section.
- vertex_count
- The number of vertices in the section.
