Uniaxial Section

This command is used to construct a UniaxialSection object which uses a previously-defined UniaxialMaterial object to represent a single section force-deformation response quantity. (Formerly known as Generic1d section, which is still accepted by OpenSees)

section Uniaxial $secTag $matTag $string

$secTag

unique section object tag

$matTag

previously-defined UniaxialMaterial object

$string

the force-deformation quantity to be modeled by this section object. One of the following strings is used:

 

P

Axial force-deformation

 

Mz

Moment-curvature about section local z-axis

 

Vy

Shear force-deformation along section local y-axis

 

My

Moment-curvature about section local y-axis

 

Vz

Shear force-deformation along section local z-axis

 

T

Torsion Force-Deformation

EXAMPLE:

section Uniaxial 1 1 Mz; # create sectionID-tag 1 from UniaxialMaterialID-tag 1 for the moment-curvature about section local z-axis.
