Inputs

mark_id
The ID of the mark containing the beamsections to update. Valid values are 1 and 2.
source_solver_id
The ID of the source solver for the specified beamsections. This can be queried using hm_getsolver.
target_solver_id
The ID of the target solver for the specified beamsections. This can be queried using hm_getsolver.
