Elastic Section for Sensitivity
- Sensitivity_Command_Manual
- Both 2-D and 3-D elastic sections are available for response sensitivity computation.
section Elastic $secTag $E $A $Iz <$Iy $G $J> |
$secTag | unique section object integer tag. |
$E | Young’s modulus. |
$A | cross section area . |
$Iz | second moment of area about the local z-axis . |
$Iy | second moment of area about the local y-axis (optional, used for 3-D analysis). |
$G | shear modulus (optional, used for 3-D analysis). |
$J | torsional moment of inertia of section (optional, used for 3-D analysis). |
- For 2-D elastic sections, the sensitivity parameters can be: E, A, I.
- For 3-D elastic sections, the sensitivity parameters can be: E, A, Iz, Iy, G, J.
