Britton Ward 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2020 Hi, One feature I have been looking for (that I don't think is available) is to be able to retrieve sectional properties from a number of cross sections or planar surfaces. I am often doing structural analysis of hydrofoils and being able to retrieve sectional interia/torsion constant information and operate on them would be a huge help. https://github.com/robbievanleeuwen/section-properties is a potential option but I haven't had the time to try and integrate it myself. Looking forward to seeing what CAESES 4.5 has in store for us .. Britt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Claus Abt 14 Report post Posted November 11, 2020 HI Britt, Do you have list of properties that you would like to see? Cheers Claus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Britton Ward 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2020 Claus, Typical 2D section properties we use are like this in appropriate unit system of course: Area: 92357056.735 Perimeter: 36720.890 Bounding box: X: 1165.227 -- 17331.991 Y: -329.077 -- 11344.873 Centroid: X: 8420.303 Y: 5290.858 Moments of inertia: X: 3120718178929088 Y: 7513980514853601 Product of inertia: XY: 3959967613135844 Radius of gyration: X: 5812.892 Y: 9019.864 Principal moments and X-Y directions of centroid: I: 4.856E+14 along [0.952 -0.306] J: 1015503441212061 along [0.306 0.952] Thanks, Britt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
