How to create a Beam in Spaceclaim?

Ayush Kumar

# Python Script, API Version = V18
startPoint=Point.Create(1,0,0)
endPoint=Point.Create(5,0,0)
lineSegment = CurveSegment.Create(startPoint,endPoint)
part =  GetRootPart()
designLine = DesignCurve.Create(part,lineSegment)

profile=BeamProfile.CreateDisk(10,"MyProfile")
beamProfile=part.Components[0].Template
beamGen = SpaceClaim.Api.V18.Beam.Create(beamProfile,designLine)
beamGen.SetName("My beam")

If you're using the V19 API, it works just as well:

# Python Script, API Version = V19
import SpaceClaim.Api.V19.Beam as Beam
startPoint=Point.Create(1,0,0)
endPoint=Point.Create(5,0,0)
lineSegment = CurveSegment.Create(startPoint,endPoint)
part =  GetRootPart()
designLine = DesignCurve.Create(part,lineSegment)

In V21 API:
