Section Material classes

Section materials represent either an entire cross-section of a beam or frame element, or the material column perpendicular to the middle plane of a plate or shell. All Section materials are derived from the following base class. That class may be used directly to represent a linear elastic section without coupling between axial and flexural deformation.
