Description

A simple specialization of ChBeamSectionEuler if you just need the simplest model for a rectangular centered beam, with uniform elasticity and uniform density.

This section automatically itializes at construction:

elasticity as rectangular section
inertia as rectangular section
damping: none - you can set it later
