Defining a tapered beam


Q: How do I define a tapered beam?
REV 7.01

A: If this beam has a round cross section, then you use a "CONE" shape. Please see the “cone” sample files in the /samples/how_to directory. If you have some other cross section, then you will have to define it yourself. Please see the “taper” sample files in the /samples/how_to directory.
