MultiaxialFiber

MultiaxialFiber#

A MultiaxialFiber section is used to model a Frame section with shear deformation. The section is defined by a collection of fibers that discretize the cross-section.

class xara.FrameSection("MultiaxialFiber", shape, *, fibers)

Create a frame section that integrates the response of xara.MultiaxialMaterial objects distributed over the section shape.

Parameters:
shape

A Shape object defining the cross-sectional geometry.

fibers: dict, optional

An optional dictionary describing the distribution of fibers over the cross-section. By default fibers will be generated automatically.

Valid setParameter targets are

  • "warp", fiber, field where fiber is an integer identifying a fiber and field is an integer identifying the warping field.
