Can multiple CDREAD commands be used to import SHELL181 elements defined with REAL Constants and SHELL181 elements defined with SECTION IDs?


Yes, but you must be very careful that the REAL constant data is not ignored. According to the Elements Manual for Release 10.0, if a SHELL181 element references both REAL constant set data and a valid shell SECTION type, the real constant data is ignored. Therefore, if one CDB file contains SHELL181 elements defined with REAL constants and another CDB file contains SHELL181 elements defined with SECTIION IDs, the combined database will contain a REAL constant data set and a valid SECTION ID. The REAL constant data will then be ignored and all of the SHELL181 elements will be defined by the SECTION ID.
