Extract Tool Examples

This is a simple I-beam modeled as a solid part.

This is the Beam after using the Extract tool.

This is a complex solid with a constant cross section.

This is the Beam after using the Extract tool.

A ring-shaped solid body with constant cross section can be modeled as a beam.

This is the ring-shaped Beam after using the Extract tool.

Midsurface geometry can also be used to Extract a beam.

Note:
  • While extracting a beam from a midsurface, the beam profile is based on the closed loop of the midsurface body.
  • The beam extraction will fail if the midsurface does not have a closed loop.

This beam was extracted from the midsurface.
