Section Properties
 
Instantaneously compute properties ranging from basic area and moments of inertia to advanced properties for complex sections, such as torsional constants, shear areas, and plastic section modulii.

 

BASIC PROPERTIES

• Area, moment of inertia about any arbitrary axis, elastic section modulus and radii of gyration.

 

Principal Properties

• Principal moments of inertia and corresponding Principal angles

 

Additional Properties

• Torsional constant, shear areas and plastic section modulii

 

Global Properties

• These properties are calculated about the Global XY axis and are dependent on the location of the Section with respect to the origin. These include moment of inertia and first moment of areas.
