Beamsection collectors collect and organize beamsections and are used in HyperBeam to organize 1D beam section data.  Beamsection collectors are created, edited, and deleted from HyperBeam or the Model browser and are shown under the BeamSectionCollector folder.

Beamsections can be organized into a beamsection collector using HyperBeam or the Organize panel.  Every beamsection must be organized into one, and only one, beamsection collector and therefore are mutually exclusive to a beamsection collector.  Newly created beamsections are automatically organized into the current beamsection collector.

The current beamsection collector is shown bold in the Model browser.  The current beamsection collector can be set using the Model browser context menu on a selected beamsection collector within the BeamsectionCollector folder.  Beamsection collectors can also be card edited using the Model browser context menu on selected beamsection collectors.

Beamsection collectors have an active and export state.  The active state of a beamsection collector controls the listing of the beamsection collector in the Model browser and any of its views.  If a beamsection collector is active, then it is listed in the Model browser and any of its views.  If a beamsection collector is inactive, then it is not listed in the Model browser or any of its views.

The export state of a beamsection collector controls whether or not that beamsection collector and all beamsections organized within the beamsection collector are exported when the custom export option is utilized.  The all export option is not affected by the export state of a beamsection collector.  The active and export states of beamsection collectors can be controlled using the Entity State browser.

Operations performed on a beamsection collector affect beamsections within the beamsection collector.  For example, if you delete a beamsection collector, the beamsections within the beamsection collector are also deleted.

The data names associated with beamsection collectors can be found in the data names section of the HyperMesh Reference Guide.
