The CS cross section symbol defines solid round sections and uses the following properties.
Section Name
Type the section name. This name appears when you label members. The section name must be unique within the section standard.
Short Name
Type the short name for the section.
EDI Name
Type the Electronic Data Interchange name for the section. This name is used when translating sections through CIMsteel. This property is currently not used.
Group Id
Type the material group identification for the section.
Unit Weight
Type the weight of the section. The unit weight is defined in mass per length pound per foot (lbm/ft).
Area
Type the cross-sectional area for the section. The area is defined in square inches or square millimeters.
Depth
Type the depth of the section.
Width
Type the width of the section.
Perimeter
Type the outside perimeter distance for the section.
Ixx
Type the moment of inertia for the section's local x-axis.
Zxx
Type the plastic section modulus for the section's local x-axis.
Sxx
Type the section modulus for the section's local x-axis.
Rxx
Type the radius of gyration for the section's local x-axis.
Ryy
Type the radius of gyration for the section's local y-axis.
ro
Type the polar radius of gyration about the shear center.
H
Type the flexural constant.
IsHollow
Specify if the cross-section is hollow or not. For this cross-section, the default value is False.
IsSymmetricAlongX
Specify if the cross-section is symmetrical along the local x-axis. For this cross-section, the default value is True.
IsSymmetricAlongY
Specify if the cross-section is symmetrical along the local y-axis. For this cross-section, the default value is True.
