This example illustrates the automatic creation of beam sections on import and the visualization of these rods, bars, and beams in HyperMesh. The OptiStruct user profile will be used, along with the pbeaml.fem input file from <installation_directory>\tutorials\hm.

Use a text editor to inspect the following file: pbeaml.fem.

hbeam_importng_autocreate_1

There are no beam sections or HyperBeam comments defined in this input file.  When imported, HyperMesh automatically creates beam sections which allow you to visualize the sections in 3-D.  Import pbeaml.fem into HyperMesh and make sure the beam visualization (visualizationElements1d2d3d-24) is turned on.
