Section creation¶

The generic section¶

class structuralcodes.sections.GenericSection(geometry: SurfaceGeometry | CompoundGeometry, name: str | None = None, integrator: Literal['marin', 'fiber'] = 'marin', **kwargs)[source]¶

This is the implementation of the generic class section.

The section is a 2D geometry where Y axis is horizontal while Z axis is vertical.

The moments and curvatures around Y and Z axes are assumed positive according to RHR.

geometry¶

The geometry of the section.

Type:: Union(SurfaceGeometry, CompoundGeometry)

name¶

The name of the section.

Type:: str

section_calculator¶

The object responsible for performing different calculations on the section (e.g. bending strength, moment curvature, etc.).

Type:: GenericSectionCalculator

__init__(geometry: SurfaceGeometry | CompoundGeometry, name: str | None = None, integrator: Literal['marin', 'fiber'] = 'marin', **kwargs) → None[source]¶

Initialize a GenericSection.

Parameters:

geometry (Union(SurfaceGeometry, CompoundGeometry)) – The geometry of the section.
name (str) – The name of the section.
integrator (str) – The name of the SectionIntegrator to use.

property gross_properties: GrossProperties¶: Return the gross properties of the section.
