Calculate the section property in the non-formalized cross-section. (Cross Sectional Area (A), Torsional Constant (Ix), Torsional Stress Coefficient, Area Moment of Inertia (Iy, Iz), Effective Shear Area (Ay, Az), Shear Stress Coefficient (Gy, Gz))
The section property is calculated automatically from the material property by selecting 2D elements assigned ground material, and this can be used for 1D structural property.
A value close to the exact solution can be obtained under the more dense mesh.
▒Methodology
Auto-calculation of complex cross-section property
Create 2D mesh for the complex cross-section.
Click ‘Add’ in the Complex Cross-Section Property window. If 2D mesh is selected, the cross-section property is calculated automatically.
Save the cross-section property.
Create/Modify 1D Property > Section Template
The complex cross-section property can be assigned when creating 1D structural element.
The registered complex cross-section property is available if the ‘Complex Cross-Section’ is selected in the ‘Section Template’.
Calculate the section property in the non-formalized cross-section. (Cross Sectional Area (A), Torsional Constant (Ix), Torsional Stress Coefficient, Area Moment of Inertia (Iy, Iz), Effective Shear Area (Ay, Az), Shear Stress Coefficient (Gy, Gz))
