sectionproperties.pre.library.primitive_sections.triangular_section(b: float, h: float, material: Material = Material(name='default', elastic_modulus=1, poissons_ratio=0, yield_strength=1, density=1, color='w')) → Geometry

Constructs a triangular section.

Constructs a right angled triangle with points (0, 0), (b, 0), (0, h).

Parameters:

• b (float) – Base length of triangle

• h (float) – Height of triangle

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

Returns:

Triangular section geometry

Return type:

Geometry

Example

The following example creates a triangular cross-section with a base width of 10 mm and height of 10 mm:

from sectionproperties.pre.library import triangular_section

triangular_section(b=10, h=10).plot_geometry()
