SECTYPE and SECDATA

(OP)
Hi everybody,

I'm trying to create a BEAM element by meshing a line.

I have BEAM44 (and other types like PIPE16 or COMBIN14) defined.

Code I follow is:

SECTYPE,100,BEAM,I,p1
SECDATA,VAL1,VAL2,VAL3,VAL4,VAL5,VAL6
SECNUM,100
LMESH,number of line to be meshed
/ESHAPE,1
/gline,1,-1

The problem I have is that I can't get to visualize BEAM with it real profile. However, when I list section properties, areas and inertias are calculated.

Coul you give me any solution?

Thanks in advancem

Enrique
