Check beam plot section #2253

Open germa89 opened 1 year ago

germa89 commented 1 year ago

Hi @jgd10 @germa89 Regarding visualizing beam elements with the actual cross section:

Can you please take a look at the following example and let me know if it is worth pursuing as an actual project. I'm afraid the second loop, to loop over all beam elements, will cause the performance to be so bad, it may not be of practical use. Right now the model has just four beam element with five section cells.

@mikerife any updates on this?

Do you think we should try to do this? I am aware there is a DPF operator coming for beam plots. This operator is developed by @pvargasm

@pvargasm any feedback on this?
