Class Beam

A structural framing element defined by a center line curve and a profile.

Examples
// Create a framing type.
var profile = _wideFlangeFactory.GetProfileByType(WideFlangeProfileType.W10x100);

// Create a straight beam.
var line = new Line(Vector3.Origin, new Vector3(5, 0, 5));
var linearBeam = new Beam(line, profile, 0, 0, 15, material: BuiltInMaterials.Wood);
var lineT = line.TransformAt(0).ToModelCurves(linearBeam.Transform);

// Create a polygon beam.
var polygon = Polygon.Ngon(5, 2);
var polygonBeam = new Beam(polygon, profile, 0, 0, 45, new Transform(6, 0, 0), BuiltInMaterials.Steel);
var polyT = polygon.TransformAt(0).ToModelCurves(polygonBeam.Transform);

// Create a curved beam.
var arc = new Arc(new Transform(Vector3.Origin, Vector3.XAxis), 5.0, Math.PI * 0.25, Math.PI * 0.75);
var arcBeam = new Beam(arc, profile, 0, 0, 0, new Transform(12, 0, 0), BuiltInMaterials.Steel);
var arcT = arc.TransformAt(arc.Domain.Min).ToModelCurves(arcBeam.Transform);

// Create an elliptical beam.
var ellipticalArc = new EllipticalArc(Vector3.Origin, 2.5, 1.5, 0, 210);
var ellipticBeam = new Beam(ellipticalArc, profile, 0, 0, 0, new Transform(18, 0, 0), BuiltInMaterials.Steel);
var ellipseT = ellipticalArc.TransformAt(ellipticalArc.Domain.Min).ToModelCurves(ellipticBeam.Transform);
