Detailed Description

This class defines a beam with a rectangular section.

It can be full or hollow, and its dimensions can vary from one end of the beam to the other. The valid parameters for rectangular beams are:

• "HY1", "HY", "H1" or "H": width at the first end of the beam.
• "HZ1", "HZ", "H1" or "H": height at the first end of the beam.
• "HY2", "HY", "H2" or "H": width at the other end of the beam.
• "HZ2", "HZ", "H2" or "H": height at the other end of the beam.
• "EPY1", "EPY", "EP1" or "EP" (optional): thickness in the width direction at the first end of the beam. If not specified or equal to 0, the beam is considered full.
• "EPZ1", "EPZ", "EP1" or "EP" (optional): thickness in the height direction at the first end of the beam. If not specified or equal to 0, the beam is considered full.
• "EPY2", "EPY", "EP2" or "EP" (optional): thickness in the width direction at the other end of the beam. If not specified or equal to 0, the beam is considered full.

• "EPZ2", "EPZ", "EP2" or "EP" (optional): thickness in the height direction at the other end of the beam. If not specified or equal to 0, the beam is considered full.

  See class StructuralElementPart for the description of the other parameters.
