Structural Section Class

The base class for StructuralSection specific classes, designed to provide common parameters and ability to differentiate between different structural section shapes.

Syntax

C++

public class StructuralSection : IEnumerable, 
	IDisposable

Public Class StructuralSection
	Implements IEnumerable, IDisposable

public ref class StructuralSection : IEnumerable, 
	IDisposable

type StructuralSection = 
    class
        interface IEnumerable
        interface IDisposable
    end

The StructuralSection type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	AnalysisParams	Common set of parameters for structural analysis.
	ElasticModulusStrongAxis	Elastic section modulus about main strong axis for calculation of bending stresses.
	ElasticModulusWeakAxis	Elastic section modulus about main weak axis for calculation of bending stresses.
	IsValidObject	Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
	MomentOfInertiaStrongAxis	Moment of Inertia about main strong axis (I).
	MomentOfInertiaWeakAxis	Moment of Inertia about main weak axis (I).
	NominalWeight	Unit weight (not mass) per unit length, for self-weight calculation or quantity survey.
	Perimeter	Painting surface of the unit length.
	PlasticModulusStrongAxis	Plastic section modulus in bending about main strong axis (Z, Wpl).
	PlasticModulusWeakAxis	Plastic section modulus in bending about main weak axis.
	PrincipalAxesAngle	Rotation angle between the principal axes and cross section reference planes.
	SectionArea	Cross section area.
	SectionNameKey	A parameter in structural families which allows for family type identification. This will be used for data mapping during model exchange with another program, namely Advance Steel.
	ShearAreaStrongAxis	Shear area (reduced extreme shear stress coefficient) in the direction of strong axis (Wq).
	ShearAreaWeakAxis	Shear area (reduced extreme shear stress coefficient) in the direction of weak axis (Wq).
	StructuralSectionGeneralShape	The general type of structural section shape.
	StructuralSectionShape	The type of structural section shape.
	StructuralSectionShapeName	A human readable string representing the structural section shape.
	TorsionalModulus	Section modulus for calculations of torsion stresses (Ct).
	TorsionalMomentOfInertia	Torsional Moment of inertia (J, IT, K), for calculation of torsional deformation
	WarpingConstant	Warping constant (Cw, Iomega, H).
