Assign a Beam Section

Learn how to assign a section to Advance Steel elements using the Dynamo extension.

To assign a beam section in Dynamo:

In the tree menu on the left, expand the AdvanceSteel tab Tag BeamSection and select SetSection. The BeamSection.SetSection node appears in the workspace. This node works for both beams and plates.

In order to set the section, you need to have two inputs as in the image below:

• One input goes into the element and comes from either a beam or a plate output.
• The second is a string representing the section name. For an example on how to use the section name, please see Profile Names.
