class SectionMonolithic[source]

Bases: SectionAbstract

The Monolithic section should not be used directly, it defines interfaces that all sections that use only one uniform material over their whole cross section will have.

getEA(lUnit='m', sUnit='Pa')[source]

Returns the axis stiffness EA for the section. Returns in units of sUnit x lUnit^2

Parameters

  • lUnit (float, optional) – The length units to output A in. The default is ‘m’.

  • sUnit (float, optional) – Stress units to output E in. The default is ‘Pa’.

Returns

The EA for the section.

Return type

float.

getEIx(lUnit='m', sUnit='Pa')[source]

Returns EI about the sections local x axis, which is generally the strong axis. Returns in units of sUnit x lUnit^4

Parameters

  • lUnit (float, optional) – The length units to output Ix in. The default is ‘m’.

  • sUnit (float, optional) – Stress units to output E in. The default is ‘Pa’.

Returns

The EIx for the section.

Return type

float.

getEIy(lUnit='m', sUnit='Pa')[source]

Returns EI about the sections local y axis, which is generally the strong axis. Returns in units of sUnit x lUnit^4

Parameters

  • lUnit (float, optional) – The length units to output Iy in. The default is ‘m’.

  • sUnit (float, optional) – Stress units to output E in. The default is ‘Pa’.

Returns

The EIy for the section.

Return type

float.

getGAx(lUnit='m', sUnit='Pa')[source]

Returns GA about the sections local x axis, which is generally the strong axis. Returns in units of sUnit x lUnit^2

Parameters

  • lUnit (float, optional) – The length units to output Ax in. The default is ‘m’.

  • sUnit (float, optional) – Stress units to output E in. The default is ‘Pa’.

Returns

The GAx for the section.

Return type

float.

getGAy(lUnit='m', sUnit='Pa')[source]

Returns GA about the sections local y axis, which is generally the strong axis. Returns in units of sUnit x lUnit^2

Parameters

  • lUnit (float, optional) – The length units to output Ay in. The default is ‘m’.

  • sUnit (float, optional) – Stress units to output E in. The default is ‘Pa’.

Returns

The GAy for the section.

Return type

float.
