Bases: Section

A basic section that contains the global propreties of the beam section, without any geometry. It’s assume the section is elastic.

Parameters:
  • E (float) – The elastic modulus to use for the section.

  • G (float) – The shear modulus to use for the section.

  • A (float) – The section’s area.

  • Iz (float) – The section’s second moment of ineria about the local z axis. (typically the strong axis)

  • Iy (float) – The section’s second moment of ineria about the local z axis. (typically the weak axis)

  • J (float) – The units to use for the section.
