Prototype

odb_TransverseShearBeam&
TransverseShearBeam(const odb_String& scfDefinition,
                    odb_Union k23,
                    odb_Union k13,
                    odb_Union slendernessCompensation);

Required argument

scfDefinition

An odb_String specifying how slenderness compensation factor of the section is given. Possible values are "ANALYSIS_DEFAULT", "COMPUTED", and "VALUE".

Optional arguments

k23

The string "NONE" or a Double specifying the k23 shear stiffness of the section. The default value is "NONE".

k13

The string "NONE" or a Double specifying the k13 shear stiffness of the section. The default value is "NONE".

slendernessCompensation

The string "COMPUTED" or a Double specifying the slenderness compensation factor of the section. The default value is 0.25.

Return value

A TransverseShearBeam object.

Exceptions

None.
