STEEL
A nested class within Material used to create steel materials.
Standard
Material.STEEL(name='', standard='', db='', id=0)
Creates a steel material from database with specified standard and database code.
Parameters
name (default=''): Material namestandard (default=''): Standard code (e.g., "EN(S)", "AISC(S)", "IS(S)")db (default=''): Database material codeid (default=0): Manual ID assignment
Examples
# Create steel material from database
Material.STEEL("S450 Steel", "EN05(S)", "S450", 4)
Material.STEEL("Fe540 Steel", "IS(S)", "Fe540", 5)
Material.create()
User-Defined
Material.STEEL.User(name='', E=0, pois=0, den=0, mass=0, therm=0, id=0)
Creates a user-defined steel material with custom properties.
Parameters
