About the precision of section divisions

Post by davidjingyu »

Dear Dr.silvia:

What are the proper sizes (including radial divisions and theta divisions) for the circular section divisions.

As I find that theta divisions equals to 8 in opensees examples, should i subdivide it if i want to get more precise results.

Thank you very much.

Best regards!
