Constructs a cee section.

Constructs a cee section (typical of cold-formed steel) with the bottom left corner at the origin (0, 0), with depth d, width b, lip l, thickness t and outer radius r_out, using n_r points to construct the radius. If the outer radius is less than the thickness of the Cee Section, the inner radius is set to zero.

Parameters:

• d (float) – Depth of the cee section

• b (float) – Width of the cee section

• l (float) – Lip of the cee section (which can be zero)

• t (float) – Thickness of the cee section

• r_out (float) – Outer radius of the cee section

• n_r (int) – Number of points discretising the outer radius

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

Returns:

Cee section geometry

Return type:

Geometry

Example

The following example creates a cee section with a depth of 125 mm, a width of 30 mm, a lip of 30 mm, a thickness of 1.5 mm and an outer radius of 6 mm, using 8 points to discretise the radius:

from sectionproperties.pre.library import cee_section

cee_section(d=125, b=50, l=30, t=1.5, r_out=6, n_r=8).plot_geometry()
