This command is used to construct a UniaxialFiber object and add it to the section.
fiber $yLoc $zLoc $A $matTag
$yLoc |
y coordinate of the fiber in the section (local coordinate system) |
$zLoc |
z coordinate of the fiber in the section (local coordinate system) |
$A |
area of fiber |
$matTag |
material tag of the pre-defined UniaxialMaterial object used to represent the stress-strain for the area of the fiber |
NOTE: in 2D bending is about the local z-axis
EXAMPLE:
fiber 0.0 0.0 1.0 1; # create a single fiber of area 1.0 at the origin (0,0) of the section, using materialIDtag 1
