Different beam sections

m.cavallerin · October 23, 2018, 6:12pm

Hi all,

how can I define different beam sections for different lines?
I’m only able to define 1 type and if I try to define two, selecting one at a time, I get the error message when I run the analysis

Enclosed, the test case I’m running

Thanks in advance.

Regards

works great here if you add a reference to both objects …

Is this a general remark or do refer to something special?

It refers only to me and the rush to immediately find the solution to a problem.
I asked for help and I got it, thanks to Bernd for support.

In fact it was only a question of checking the analysis settings once more.
I did not mean to offend anyone.

I did not feel offended, but I was chasing spammers for the last couple of days, so I got alerted.

BTW, if you set 3D output to true you gone see the different size of the sections. You do not even run an analysis for this. You could use the check analysis type for this. But you need an up to date FreeCAD and you need to add a new solver.
