4.16.11. Elastic Membrane Plate Section¶
- section('ElasticMembranePlateSection', secTag, E_mod, nu, h, rho, <Ep_modifier>)
This command allows the user to construct an ElasticMembranePlateSection object, which is an isotropic section appropriate for plate and shell analysis.
secTag
(int)unique section tag
E_mod
(float)Young’s Modulus
nu
(float)Poisson’s Ratio
h
(float)depth of section
rho
(float)mass density
Ep_modifier
(float)factor to modify out-of-plane bending stiffness (optional). E_plate = Ep_modifier*E_mod
