Sketched Beam Section
The sketched beam section functions described below have been deprecated. Use the functions described in the section
Creo Simulate Beams: Sections, Sketched Sections, and General Sections instead.
Functions Superseded:
The function
ProMechsketchedsctndataAlloc()allocates the memory for the sketched beam section data handle.
The function ProMechsketchedsctndataFeatureidGet() returns the sketch feature id of the sketched beam section.
The function
ProMechsketchedsctndataOrienttypeGet() returns the type of orientation for the sketched beam section. The beam orientation defines the Y direction of the beam, that is, how it rotates on the XY plane. The types of orientation is as follows:
• PRO_MECH_BEAM_SECTION_SKET_XY_AS_YZ—The beam section X and Y coordinates correspond to the beam Y and Z directions, respectively.
• PRO_MECH_BEAM_SECTION_SKET_XY_AS_ZY—The beam section X and Y coordinates correspond to the beam Z and Y directions, respectively.
Use the function
ProMechsketchedsctndataOrienttypeSet() to set the type of orientation for the sketched beam section.
The function
ProMechsketchedsctndataShearcenterGet() returns the shear center of the beam section. The shear center is the point on a beam section about which the section rotates under deflection. The function
ProMechsketchedsctndataShearcenterSet() sets the shear center of the beam section.
The function
ProMechsketchedsctndataFree() releases the memory assigned to sketched beam section data.
