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
