Property Documentation

unsafe bool NXOpen.CAE.BeamElementInfo.HasSectionAssignedAtAftEnd
get

Returns a boolean value that indicates whether a cross section object is assigned to the aft end of the beam element.

  1. To a constant beam element, when a cross section is defined in the beam mesh physical properties, the section is assigned to both ends of the beam element.

To a tapered beam element:

When two cross sections are defined to the end nodes of the beam chain in the beam mesh physical properties, the fore section is assigned to the fore end of the fore beam element of the beam chain, the aft section is assigned to the aft end of the aft beam element of the beam chain, the section at the other ends are interpolated with these two sections.

When two cross sections are defined to each element in the beam mesh physical properties, the fore section is assigned to the fore end of each element of the beam chain, the aft section is assigned to the aft end of each element of the beam chain.
