====== R Command ======


R,<nm>,<axial>,<shear2>,<shear3>,<tors>,<flex2>,<flex3>

defines the real property set number <nm> with axial area <axial>, shear area for local axis 2 <shear2>, shear area for local axis 3 <shear3>, torsional inertia moment <tors>, flexural inertia moment for local axis 2 <flex2>, and flexural inertia moment for local axis 3 <flex3>.

The section properties of some mostly used cross-sections are given above. If shear deformations are not going to be included in the analysis, let <shear2> and <shear3> be zero.
