Description

Base class for properties of all beam sections.

A beam section can be shared between multiple beams. A beam section contains the models for elasticity, plasticity, damping, etc.

Public Member Functions
void	SetDrawThickness (double thickness_y, double thickness_z)
	Sets the rectangular thickness of the beam on y and z directions, only for drawing/rendering purposes (these thickness values do NOT have any meaning at a physical level, use SetAsRectangularSection()

double	GetDrawThicknessY ()

double	GetDrawThicknessZ ()

bool	IsCircular ()
	Tells if the section must be drawn as a circular section instead than default rectangular.

void	SetCircular (bool ic)
	Set if the section must be drawn as a circular section instead than default rectangular.

void	SetDrawCircularRadius (double draw_rad)
	Sets the radius of the beam if in 'circular section' draw mode, only for drawing/rendering purposes (this radius value do NOT have any meaning at a physical level, use ChBeamSectionBasic::SetAsCircularSection()

double	GetDrawCircularRadius ()

void	SetArea (const double ma)
	Set the cross sectional area A of the beam (m^2)

double	GetArea () const

void	SetDensity (double md)
	Set the density of the beam (kg/m^3)

double	GetDensity () const

virtual void	SetAsRectangularSection (double width_y, double width_z)=0
	Shortcut: set elastic and plastic constants at once, given the y and z widths of the beam assumed with rectangular shape.

virtual void	SetAsCircularSection (double diameter)=0
	Shortcut: set elastic and plastic constants at once, given the diameter of the beam assumed with circular shape.
