Constructs a DBOX section.

Constructs a DBOX section with the center at the origin (0, 0), with ten parameters defining dimensions.

Parameters:

• dim_1 (float) – Width (x) of the DBOX-section

• dim_2 (float) – Depth (y) of the DBOX-section

• dim_3 (float) – Width (x) of left-side box

• dim_4 (float) – Thickness of left wall

• dim_5 (float) – Thickness of center wall

• dim_6 (float) – Thickness of right wall

• dim_7 (float) – Thickness of top left wall

• dim_8 (float) – Thickness of bottom left wall

• dim_9 (float) – Thickness of top right wall

• dim_10 (float) – Thickness of bottom right wall

• material (Material) – Material to associate with this geometry

Returns:

DBOX section geometry

Return type:

Geometry

Example

The following example creates a DBOX cross-section with a depth of 3.0 and width of 8.0:

from sectionproperties.pre.library import nastran_dbox

nastran_dbox(
    dim_1=8.0, dim_2=3.0, dim_3=3.0, dim_4=0.5, dim_5=0.625, dim_6=0.75,
    dim_7=0.375, dim_8=0.25, dim_9=0.5, dim_10=0.375
).plot_geometry()
