This commnand allows the user to construct a FiberSection object. Each FiberSection object is composed of Fibers, with each fiber containing a UniaxialMaterial, an area and a location (y,z). The command to generate FiberSection object contains in { } the commands to generate all the fibers in the object. To construct a FiberSection and populate it, the following command is used:

section Fiber $secTag {

fiber...

patch...

layer...

...

}

NOTES:

1. The command to generate a FiberSection contains in { } the commands to generate all the fibers in the section.
2. The patch and layer commands can be used to generate multiple fibers in a single command.

---

$sectTag	unique tag among FiberSections
$tsTag	the tag of the time series to be used in the load pattern
load...	command to nodal load
eleLoad ...	command to generate elemental load
sp ...	command to generate single-point constraint
