Deconstructs a design frame element cross section. All output values take units associated with the model length units.

Inputs

Number Name Object Type Description Optional
1 Cross Section DesignCrossSection The design cross section to deconstruct. No

Outputs

Number Name Object Type Description
1 GUID System.String The unique GUID, as a string
2 Name System.String Name of the cross section
3 Type System.String Type of cross section
4 Color Hash System.String Color hash-code
5 Depth System.Double Depth of the cross section, along the local 2-axis
6 Axial Area System.Double Axial area of the cross section.
7 Shear Area 2 System.Double Shear area of the cross section for shear along the local 2-axis.
8 Shear Area 3 System.Double Shear area of the cross section for shear along the local 3-axis.
9 I22 System.Double Moment of inertia about the local 2-axis.
10 I33 System.Double Moment of inertia about the local 3-axis.
11 S22t System.Double Section modulus about the local 2-axis, for the extreme fiber at the positive 3-side of the section.
12 S22b System.Double Section modulus about the local 2-axis, for the extreme fiber at the negative 3-side of the section.
13 S33t System.Double Section modulus about the local 3-axis, for the extreme fiber at the positive 2-side of the section.
14 S33b System.Double Section modulus about the local 3-axis, for the extreme fiber at the negative 2-side of the section.
15 Z22 System.Double Plastic section modulus about the local 2-axis.
16 Z33 System.Double Plastic section modulus about the local 3-axis.
17 J System.Double Torsional constant.
18 Cw System.Double Warping constant.
19 rts System.Double Radius of gyration of the compression zone Tee section (for wide-flange sections only).
