  2. Double-click Section Assignments in the list of part attributes that appears.

    Abaqus/CAE displays prompts in the prompt area to guide you through the procedure.

  3. Click anywhere on the beam to select the region to which the section will be applied.

    Abaqus/CAE highlights the entire beam.

  4. Click mouse button 2 in the viewport or click Done in the prompt area to accept the selected geometry.

    The Edit Section Assignment dialog box appears containing a list of existing sections.

  5. Accept the default selection of BeamSection as the section, and click OK.

    Abaqus/CAE assigns the solid section to the beam, colors the entire beam aqua to indicate that the region has a section assignment, and closes the Edit Section Assignment dialog box.

When you assign a section to a region of a part, the region takes on the material properties associated with the section.
