`Beam`#

class ansys.geometry.core.designer.beam.Beam(id: str, start: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D, end: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D, profile: BeamProfile | None, parent_component: ansys.geometry.core.designer.component.Component, name: str = None, is_deleted: bool = False, is_reversed: bool = False, is_rigid: bool = False, material: ansys.geometry.core.materials.material.Material = None, cross_section: BeamCrossSectionInfo = None, properties: BeamProperties = None, shape: ansys.geometry.core.shapes.curves.trimmed_curve.TrimmedCurve = None, beam_type: BeamType = None)#

Represents a simplified solid body with an assigned 2D cross-section.

This body synchronizes to a design within a supporting Geometry service instance.

Parameters:

idstr: Server-defined ID for the body.
namestr: User-defined label for the body.
startPoint3D: Start of the beam line segment.
endPoint3D: End of the beam line segment.
profileBeamProfile: Beam profile to use to create the beam.
parent_componentComponent: Parent component to nest the new beam under within the design assembly.

Overview#

Properties

`id`	Service-defined ID of the beam.
`start`	Start of the beam line segment.
`end`	End of the beam line segment.
`profile`	Beam profile of the beam line segment.
`parent_component`	Component node that the beam is under.
`is_alive`	Flag indicating whether the beam is still alive on the server.

Special methods

Represent the beam as a string.
