Beam Sections Dialog Box
Use the items on the Beam Sections dialog box to manage your beam section definitions. Click Refine Model and then click the arrow next to Beam. Click Beam Sections to open the Beam Sections dialog box. This dialog box allows you to assign a previously defined beam section to your beam, or to create a new beam section.
The dialog box contains the following items:
Properties in Library—Displays a scrollable list of the beam sections saved in your library. You can select one of these definitions and click the right arrow to move it to the Properties in Model list. This assigns it to the current beam definition.
Properties in Model—Displays a scrollable list of the beam sections assigned to one or more beams in the current model. You can select one of these section names to assign to the current beam definition. To add a beam section to the library, select it and use the left arrow to add it to the Properties in Library list.
Description—This non-editable field displays the description you entered, if any, for the beam section currently selected in the Properties in Library or Properties in Model list.
New—Opens the Beam Section Definition dialog box to allow you to create a new beam section.
Copy—Copies the selected beam section to a new name and adds it to the Properties in Model list. Creo Simulate gives the copy the default name BeamSectionx, where x is one more than the number of items created for the model. Note that you cannot copy sketched beam sections.
Edit—Opens the Beam Section Definition dialog box with the values of the selected beam section.
Delete—Removes the selected beam section from the Properties in Model list.
If you accessed the Beam Sections dialog box from the Beam Definition dialog box, when you close the Beam Sections dialog box, Creo Simulate uses the section you selected from the Properties in Model list for the current beam definition, and displays the beam section name in the Beam Definition dialog box.
