Guys, when I create in HyperBeam Standard Sections/OptiStruct/Bar, it gives Plastic Sect Moduli equal to zero: Zy=0, Zz = 0. But when I create same solid section manually, I see the values.

    Hello,

     

    • Solid section is FE based solution, hence accuracy of some quantities may be subject to mesh density
    • Standard section are closed form solution, mainly meant to feed PBEAM card hence some quantities are not evaluated.
