NZ Code Sections
Sections in accordance with AS/NZ standards are available in both 2D and 3D applications.
See Eccentricity for more details.
Syntax
To define a section, analysts can use the following commands.
Remarks
By default, millimeter is used as length unit, if users want to switch to another unit, set
scaleto corresponding values. For example, to use meter,scale=0.001, to use inch,scale=1/25.4=0.03937007874.For 2D sections, the number of integration points is set to two using Gauss quadrature for flanges in I-sections.
For 3D sections, along web/flange thickness, one integration point is used. along flange width and web height, the same number of integration points is used as defined by user.
Supported Designations
Currently, the following designations are available.

Rectangular/Square Hollow Sections
Note for hollow sections, due to FE idealization, the moment of inertia is larger than the one(s) shown in the standard. The difference can be as large as .
