I am faced with the following modeling question: I have a solid concrete beam. I would like to insert a hollow section in the form of a sphere into this beam.
Can I do this with the “Line to Beam” component by defining the cross section in this way? So is it possible to get a new cross section by making the cross section of the solid cross section minus the cross section of the sphere?
In that case you have to specify a custom cross section. You could start with a trapezoid cross section and then use a “ModifyCross Section”-Component to modify the cross section values so that they take account of the void.
