4.16.5. Wide Flange Section¶

section('WFSection2d', secTag, matTag, d, tw, bf, tf, Nfw, Nff)

This command allows the user to construct a WFSection2d object, which is an encapsulated fiber representation of a wide flange steel section appropriate for plane frame analysis.

`secTag` (int)	unique section tag
`matTag` (int)	tag of uniaxialMaterial assigned to each fiber
`d` (float)	section depth
`tw` (float)	web thickness
`bf` (float)	flange width
`tf` (float)	flange thickness
`Nfw` (float)	number of fibers in the web
`Nff` (float)	number of fibers in each flange

Note

The section dimensions d, tw, bf, and tf can be found in the AISC steel manual.
