TransverseShearBeam(...)

This method creates a TransverseShearBeam object.

Path

mdb.models[name].sections[name].TransverseShearBeam
session.odbs[name].sections[name].TransverseShearBeam

Required arguments

scfDefinition

A SymbolicConstant specifying how slenderness compensation factor of the section is given. Possible values are ANALYSIS_DEFAULT, COMPUTED, and VALUE.

Optional arguments

k23

None or a Float specifying the k23 shear stiffness of the section. The default value is None.

k13

None or a Float specifying the k13 shear stiffness of the section. The default value is None.

slendernessCompensation

The SymbolicConstant COMPUTED or a Float specifying the slenderness compensation factor of the section. The default value is 0.25.

Return value

A TransverseShearBeam object.

Exceptions

None.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the TransverseShearBeam object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the TransverseShearBeam method.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

None.

Members

The TransverseShearBeam object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the TransverseShearBeam method.
