Arguments
- $SectionLabel
- Unique Section Label for reference
- The user can just specify the WideFlangeSize directly in the SectionLabel .
- The user can assign metadata to the section in the SectionLabel while keeping the WideFlangeSize by using an underscore (_) to separate the metadata. E.g.
- addSectionData SectionLabel W44X290_mine
- $MaterialLabel
- Previously-Defined MateriaLabel
- $SectionDescription
- Text. Optional, default = blank {}
- $WideFlangeSize
- Standard AISC Wide-Flange size. Optional, default = $SectionLabel
- The user can just specify the WideFlangeSize directly in the SectionLabel .
- BuildingTcl -- AISC WideFlangeSizes Available
- $nfdw
- Number of web fibers along section depth. Optional, default = 8
- $nftw
- Number of flange fibers along flange width. Optional, default = 4
- $nfbf
- Number of web fibers along web thickness. Optional, default = 8
- $nftf
- Number of flange fibers along flange thickness. Optional, default = 4
- $nu
- Poisson's Ratio. Used to calulated G=($E/2/(1+$nu). Optional, default = 0.2
- $J
- Torsional Moment of Inertia. Optional, default = 1.e8
- $WeightDensity
- Linear Weight Density of section. Used to calculated element weight: ElementWeight=$WeightDensity*ElementLength. Optional, default = 0.
- NOT IMPLEMENTED IN CURRENT VERSION
Notes
The addSection command must be placed at the end of each Section-data definition, as it takes all data defined since the last addSection command and define the Section.
