Is it possible to give a vertical or horizontal arc plane a thickness - e.g. so that it has square cross section dimensions of, say, 50mm x 50mm?

You cold try a 50 x 50 beam, and give it a deflection to achieve the same thing.

Hi Keith, many thanks for that.

I can't find that command for a beam - but I'm using a rather old v14 !? so maybe that's why!

 

Cheers

Ahh, sorry William - I don't think that was applicable for v14

V.14 has served me very well and I've promised myself an upgrade over the years.

My family tells me I should be thinking about retirement but I'm tempted by the latest v.2020 - there's a few years left in this "old man" yet!

 

Regards

Bill
