Constructs a circular section.

Constructs a solid circle centered at the origin (0, 0) with diameter d, using n points to construct the circle.

Parameters:

  • d (float) – Diameter of the circle

  • n (int) – Number of points discretising the circle

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

Returns:

Circular section geometry

Return type:

Geometry

Example

The following example creates a circular geometry with a diameter of 50 mm with 64 points:

from sectionproperties.pre.library import circular_section

circular_section(d=50, n=64).plot_geometry()
