C-shaped profile with tapered flanges of the same length and thickness.

Class structure

Implemented interfaces and base types

The TaperFlangeChannelProfile is inheriting from the following base type(s) and implements the following interfaces:

Properties

Defining properties

The following properties are defined on the class

Name Type Description Quantity
Shape ShapeType - -
Height double Full depth between the extreme fibres of the flanges. Length [m]
FlangeWidth double Full width between the extreme fibres of the web to the toe of the flange. Length [m]
WebThickness double - Length [m]
FlangeThickness double Mean thickness of the flange, taken at 1/2 the flange width Length [m]
FlangeSlope double Slope of the flange inner faces, generally from 0 to 1/6. Ratio [-]
RootRadius double Fillet radius between inner face of the flanges and the inner face of web. Length [m]
ToeRadius double Fillet radius at the end of the flanges. Value must be smaller or equal to the thickness of the flange at the tip. Length [m]
MirrorAboutLocalZ bool If true, the section is mirrored about its local z-axis, resulting in a backwards facing C-shape. -
Edges ReadOnlyCollection<ICurve> Edge curves that match the dimensions in the global XY-plane. -

Derived properties

The following properties are defined as extension methods in one of the BHoM_Engines

Name Type Description Quantity Engine
Area double Gets the area of an IProfile. This assumes that the outermost curve(s) are solid. Curves inside a solid region are assumed to be openings, and curves within openings are assumed to be solid, etc. Also, for TaperedProfiles, the average area is returned. Area [m²] Spatial_Engine
Bounds BoundingBox Queries the BoundingBox of a Profile. Acts on the profile edges through the Geometry_Engine. - Spatial_Engine
DescriptionOrName string Gets the name from a profile. If null or empty, a default description name is provided instead. - Structure_Engine
Geometry CompositeGeometry Queries edge curves from an IProfile. - Spatial_Engine
ICircularEquivalentDiameter double Returns the Circular Equivalent Diameter for elements that are non-circular, equivalent in length, fluid resistance and airflow. - MEP_Engine
IDescription string Generates a default description for the Profile, based on dimensions. - Structure_Engine
IsNull bool Checks if an Profile is null and outputs relevant error message. - Spatial_Engine
IThickness double Returns the thickness of a ShapeProfile. Length [m] Spatial_Engine
ITorsionalConstant double Calculates the torsional constant for the profile. Note that this is not the polar moment of inertia. TorsionConstant [m⁴] Structure_Engine
IWarpingConstant double Gets the warping constant for the profile. WarpingConstant [m⁶] Structure_Engine
TorsionalConstant double Calculates the torsional constant for the profile. Note that this is not the polar moment of inertia.
Formulae taken from Johnston & El Darwish, 1964.		 TorsionConstant [m⁴] Structure_Engine
VoidArea double Gets the void area enclosed by an IProfile. This assumes that the outermost curve(s) are solid. Curves inside a solid region are assumed to be openings, and curves within openings are assumed to be solid, etc. Also, for TaperedProfiles, the average void area is returned. Area [m²] Spatial_Engine
WarpingConstant double Gets the warping constant for the profile. WarpingConstant [m⁶] Structure_Engine
