- | Creates a cross-section model for design calculations. The use must define a cut to be used and the destination of the cross-section if the first two argument. The rest of the arguments define an infinite plane by a point on the plane and the normal to the plane. The Submodeler will then take a cross-section of all the elements in the cut at the infinite plane. The Elements cross-section then will be expanded to a unit thickness so the user can plot the cross-sectional model. This model can then be used to find stresses on the section and the center of gravity. | + | Creates a cross-section model for design calculations.

This model is used to perform design calculations on the cross section using the commands found in the Calculation Commands section of the command reference. Users should load stress data onto the model using [[com:READSTR]] before making the cross sectional model |
