SectionPoint(...)

This method creates a SectionPoint object.

Path

odb.sectionCategories()[name].SectionPoint

Prototype

odb_SectionPoint& SectionPoint(int number, const
odb_String& description);

Required arguments

number

An Int specifying the number of the section point. See Beam elements and Shell elements for the numbering convention.

description

An odb_String specifying the description of the section point.

Optional arguments

None.

Return value

A SectionPoint object.

Exceptions

None.

Members

The SectionPoint object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the SectionPoint method.

Prototype
