Solid Section

The following values are specified for a solid section (geometrical and weighted):

  • Area (Ax).
  • Center of gravity - position in the global coordinate system.
  • Main angles - the angle of inclination of the first main axis in relation to the positive direction of the axis Y of the principal coordinate system.
  • Moments of inertia and deviation set in the central, global, and arbitrary systems.
  • Moment of inertia for torsion (only geometrical).
  • Distance of the furthest section fibers from the main, central axes.
  • Reduced section field for shear, used during calculations of the maximal tangent stresses in a beam (shear areas Ay, Az).
  • Shear rigidity factors (Wy, Wz).
  • Elastic section moduli (Wely, Welz).
  • Plastic section moduli (Wply, Wplz).
