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.
