Create_IPMesh4Rect

Purpose

coordinates, weights and material IDs for rectangular section with cover

Synopsis

[yfib,zfib,wfib,MatID] = Create_IPMesh4Rect (SecData)

Description

CREATE_IPMESH4RECT coordinates, weights and material IDs for rectangular section with cover
  [YFIB,ZFIB,WFIB,MATID] = CREATE_IPMESH4RECT (SECDATA)
  the function generates the coordinates YFIB and ZFIB, the integration weights WFIB, and
  the material ID MATID for the fiber discretization of the rectangular section in SECDATA;
  the rectangular section can have a different top/bottom and side cover,
  as may be required for sections with reinforcing bars;
  SECDATA has two fields for assigning material IDs to core and cover fibers:
  FMatID  = row vector with material ID for corresponding core fiber  (default = row vector of 1s)
  FCovMID = row vector with material ID for corresponding cover fiber (default = row vector of 2s)
