# Fiber Section
This commnand allows the user to construct a FiberSection object. Each FiberSection object is composed of Fibers, with each fiber containing a UniaxialMaterial, an area and a location (y,z). The command to generate FiberSection object contains in { } the commands to generate all the fibers in the object. To construct a FiberSection and populate it, the following command is used:
section Fiber $secTag <-GJ $GJ> { |
fiber... |
patch... |
layer... |
... |
} |
|
unique tag among sections |
|
linear-elastic torsional stiffness assigned to the section (optional, default = no torsional stiffness) |
fiber... |
command to generate a single fiber |
patch... |
command to generate a number of fibers over a geometric cross-section |
layer... |
command to generate a row of fibers along a geometric-arc |
