Create_RectwCovOutline

Purpose

generate geometry outline for rectangular section with cover

Synopsis

[Outline,A,sy,sz] = Create_RectwCovOutline (Data)

Description

CREATE_RECTwCOVOUTLINE generate geometry outline for rectangular section with cover
  [OUTLINE,A,SY,SZ] = RECTwCOVOUTLINE (DATA)
  the function creates the data structure OUTLINE for rectangular section with cover
  with geometric properties in data structure DATA with the following fields:
       ndm = 2 or 3 for uniaxial or biaxial section model, respectively 
       d   = depth
       b   = width
       cv(1:2) = cover thickness top/bottom, left/right (default = same thickness)

  the function returns the following information
       A  = area of the cross section
       SY = centroidal distance relative to section mid-depth
       SZ = centroidal distance relative to section mid-width

  Dimensions and coordinate system:

                        y ^
