Component Parts Method
The cross section is composed of component parts
The cross section is composed of elementary parts as rectangles, circles and profiled sections for which the section
properties and location of centroid are easy to determine. Input with dialog as underneath:
Input for rectangles and circles: width bx, height hy and the coordinates
of centroid xG and yG. The cross-sectional area A, moments of inertia
Ix and Iy are calculated automatically. For a standard profile the properties are
to derive from profile tables and has to be edit as input in the corresponding input boxes.
Calculation of Section Properties
