Constructs an L section.

Constructs an L section with the intersection’s center at the origin (0, 0),with four parameters defining dimensions.

Parameters:

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

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

  • dim_3 (float) – Thickness of flange (horizontal portion)

  • dim_4 (float) – Thickness of web (vertical portion)

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

Returns:

L section geometry

Return type:

Geometry

Example

The following example creates an L cross-section with a depth of 6.0 and width of 3.0:

from sectionproperties.pre.library import nastran_l

nastran_l(dim_1=3.0, dim_2=6.0, dim_3=0.375, dim_4=0.625).plot_geometry()
