This command is used to construct a SectionForceDeformation object, hereto referred to as Section, which represents force-deformation (or resultant stress-strain) relationships at beam-column and plate sample points.
What is a section?
� Elastic � defined by material and geometric constants
� Resultant � general nonlinear description of force-deformation response, e.g. moment-curvature
� Fiber � section is discretized into smaller regions for which the material stress-strain response is integrated to give resultant behavior, e.g. reinforced concrete
The valid queries to any section when creating an ElementRecorder are 'force' and 'deformation.'
