The TransverseShearBeam object defines the transverse shear stiffness properties of a beam section.
import section mdb.models[name].sections[name].beamTransverseShear import odbSection session.odbs[name].sections[name].beamTransverseShear
This method creates a TransverseShearBeam object.
mdb.models[name].sections[name].TransverseShearBeam session.odbs[name].sections[name].TransverseShearBeam
Required argument
A SymbolicConstant specifying how slenderness compensation factor of the section is given. Possible values are ANALYSIS_DEFAULT, COMPUTED, and VALUE.
Optional arguments
None or a Float specifying the k23 shear stiffness of the section. The default value is None.
None or a Float specifying the k13 shear stiffness of the section. The default value is None.
The SymbolicConstant COMPUTED or a Float specifying the slenderness compensation factor of the section. The default value is 0.25.
Return value
A TransverseShearBeam object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the TransverseShearBeam object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the TransverseShearBeam method.
Return value
Exceptions
The TransverseShearBeam object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the TransverseShearBeam method.
