@dhondt That would be great, thank you very much. By the way, this recent thread discusses another potential bug related to general beam section and userbeam.inp test example: [Doubt about userbeam.inp (U1) from ccx test](https://calculix.discourse.group/t/doubt-about-userbeam-inp-u1-from-ccx-test/668)

These issues seem to have the same cause and maybe they can be fixed in one go.
