FEM ElementGeometry1D/fr

Description
ElementGeometry1D is used to define cross sections for beam elements. Currently the following types of cross sections are available: rectangular, circular and pipe.

Utilisation

 * 1) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 2) * Press the button.
 * 3) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 4) Choose the type of cross section and specify the necessary dimensions:
 * 5) * Rectangular: width and height,
 * 6) * Circular: diameter,
 * 7) * Pipe: diameter and thickness.
 * 8) Optionally press the  button in the task panel and then click on the edge you want to have a prescribed cross section. If the edge selection is free, all remaining edges (whose cross section is not defined by other FEM ElementGeometry1D objects) will be automatically assigned.

Remarques

 * For viewing results from CalculiX solver on the mesh expanded to the prescribed cross section, property in the FEM SolverCalculixCxxtools need to be set to.
