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, parent_component: ansys.geometry.core.designer.component.Component)

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.
