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, widthb
, lipl
, thicknesst
and outer radiusr_out
, usingn_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:
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()
