Define Section Profile dialog

Used to specify beam stress locations for general user-provided table sections for use in post-processing.

Opens when either:

the Define Section Profile tool is selected in the Model group on the Beam ribbon tab
Define Section Profile is selected from the right-click pop-up menu

Note: This tool is only active when a member using a general UPT section is selected in the Postprocessing workflow.

Enter the local Y and Z coordinates of the section extreme fibers to specify stress points.

You can also "swap" the top and bottom sides () or left and right sides () in order to facilitate entering stress points by clicking the corresponding tools.

Tip: Additional profile name, material, and section properties are provided to assist in identifying the section.
