Fiber Command

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
