Constructs a BOX1 section.

Constructs a BOX1 section with the center at the origin (0, 0), with six parameters defining dimensions.

Parameters:

• dim_1 (float) – Width (x) of box

• dim_2 (float) – Depth (y) of box

• dim_3 (float) – Thickness of top wall

• dim_4 (float) – Thickness of bottom wall

• dim_5 (float) – Thickness of left wall

• dim_6 (float) – Thickness of right wall

• material (Material) – Material to associate with this geometry. Defaults to pre.DEFAULT_MATERIAL.

Raises:

RuntimeError – If the geometry generation fails

Returns:

BOX1 section geometry

Return type:

Geometry

Example

The following example creates a BOX1 cross-section with a depth of 3.0 and width of 4.0:

from sectionproperties.pre.library import nastran_box1

nastran_box1(
    dim_1=4.0, dim_2=3.0, dim_3=0.375, dim_4=0.5, dim_5=0.25, dim_6=0.75
).plot_geometry()
