Arguments

$SectionLabel
Unique Section Label for reference
The user can just specify the WideFlangeSize directly in the SectionLabel .
The user can assign metadata to the section in the SectionLabel while keeping the WideFlangeSize by using an underscore (_) to separate the metadata. E.g.
addSectionData SectionLabel W44X290_mine
$MaterialLabel
Previously-Defined MateriaLabel
$SectionDescription
Text. Optional, default = blank {}
$WideFlangeSize
Standard AISC Wide-Flange size. Optional, default = $SectionLabel
The user can just specify the WideFlangeSize directly in the SectionLabel .
BuildingTcl -- AISC WideFlangeSizes Available
$nfdw
Number of web fibers along section depth. Optional, default = 8
$nftw
Number of flange fibers along flange width. Optional, default = 4
$nfbf
Number of web fibers along web thickness. Optional, default = 8
$nftf
Number of flange fibers along flange thickness. Optional, default = 4
$nu
Poisson's Ratio. Used to calulated G=($E/2/(1+$nu). Optional, default = 0.2
$J
Torsional Moment of Inertia. Optional, default = 1.e8
$WeightDensity
Linear Weight Density of section. Used to calculated element weight: ElementWeight=$WeightDensity*ElementLength. Optional, default = 0.
NOT IMPLEMENTED IN CURRENT VERSION


Notes

The addSection command must be placed at the end of each Section-data definition, as it takes all data defined since the last addSection command and define the Section.
