1.1 Creating Beam Object

Access

import NUTS_cakit as nc nc.Beam()

<<<<< Required arguments >>>>>
d: Section depth
w: Section width
ft: Flange thickness
wt: Web thickness
fpl: Plastic strength of beam
E: Elastic modulus
G: Shear modulus
L: Length
t_dist: Temperature distribtuion in the section
Dataformat: [temperature, ratio of the distance from beam top/section depth], 20C <= temperature <= 1200C.
Example: [[600,0],[270,0.7],[100,1]]

<<<<< Returning objects >>>>>
