Create Section

A Catalog Database Element (CATA) can contain a number of Catalog Sections which are administrative elements, there are two types: Piping Sections (SECT) and the Structural Sections (STSE). They are principal administrative elements by which the Catalog is divided and arranged. A SECT or STSE can only be created below a CATA element.
