Description
Updating a solid beam section requires two commands of which this is the second. This command will update all data for a solid 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.
The solid beam section interior will be remeshed and results will be calculated for the beam section automatically after updating.
