I-shaped profile with tapered flanges.

Class structure

Implemented interfaces and base types

The TaperFlangeISectionProfile 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]
Width double Full width of both flanges between the extreme fibres of the flanges. Length [m]
WebThickness double - Length [m]
FlangeThickness double Mean thickness of the flange, taken at 1/4 of 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 faces of the 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]
Edges ReadOnlyCollection<ICurve> Edge curves that matches 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, 1965.		 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
