Constructs a flanged cruciform section.

Constructs a flanged cruciform cross-section with the intersection’s middle center at the origin (0, 0), with eight parameters defining dimensions

Parameters:

• dim_1 (float) – Depth (y) of flanged cruciform

• dim_2 (float) – Width (x) of flanged cruciform

• dim_3 (float) – Thickness of vertical web

• dim_4 (float) – Thickness of horizontal web

• dim_5 (float) – Length of flange attached to vertical web

• dim_6 (float) – Thickness of flange attached to vertical web

• dim_7 (float) – Length of flange attached to horizontal web

• dim_8 (float) – Thickness of flange attached to horizontal web

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

Returns:

Flanged cruciform section geometry

Return type:

Geometry

Example

The following example demonstrates the creation of a flanged cross section:

from sectionproperties.pre.library import nastran_fcross

nastran_fcross(
    dim_1=9.0, dim_2=6.0, dim_3=0.75, dim_4=0.625, dim_5=2.1, dim_6=0.375,
    dim_7=4.5, dim_8=0.564
).plot_geometry()
