The Beam Properties tab of this dialog is used to specify the physical properties of the selected beam elements or curves of type Part beam.
The collection of property values defined on the dialog are saved to a property set with the description shown in the Name box. In addition, you may be given the option to also apply the property values to related entities in the model.
| Cross section is | Select the type of cross-sectional shape you want to apply to the selected element(s). |
| Shape is | Specifies whether the curve or beam element has constant dimensions [non-tapered] along its length, or is tapered. |
| Occurrence number | Occurrence numbers are used to specify the number of times that a given flow path is repeated in a model. |
| Exclude from clamp force calculation | Select this option if you want to exclude the selected part surface elements from the clamp force calculation. |
