The graphics area displays a representation of the geometric layout of the section. All sections display the following items:

Item

Description

hbeam_y_z

Local origin of the beamsection

hbeam_section_centroid

Section Centroid

hbeam_shear_center

Shear Center

element_axis

Element Axis

 

Standard sections display the geometric representation of the section based on the parameter values, which are also listed on the screen.

For shell sections each part is drawn with lines connecting the dots that show the section's vertices.

hbeam_graphics_shellsectiondisplay

Solid sections can be created and edited using the same tools as a shell section, and the mesh that is used for the section calculations is displayed.

Since generic sections do not inherently have any shape, only a grey box is shown. The centroid and shear center graphics location will update.
