rectangular coordinate

can someone please interpolate/explain "-rect 15 30 66"

  • Hi Subasis,

    Please refer to the MOSES user's manual section XII.P.1 Pieces.  In my version of the manual it begins on page 267.  The option description is on page 272.

    -RECTANGLE ZBOT ZTOP BEAM.

    The explanation is the section will have a rectangular shape.  The bottom of the rectangle will be at body coordinate z = 15, the top of the rectangle will be at body coordinate z = 30, the beam of the section will be 66 units.

    All the other options that can be used are also in the reference user's manual.  Please refer to that.

    Thank you,
