:'''addSection'''


==Arguments ==

;$SectionLabel :	Unique Section Label for reference
;$SectionDescription :	Text. Optional, default = blank {}
;$ShearModelLabel: Previously-defined material defining ShearForce vs. Shear Deformation for this section. Optional, default = Rigid
;$BendingModelLabel: Previously-defined material defining BendingMoment vs. Rotation for this section. Optional, default = Rigid
;$WeightDensity : Linear Weight Density of section. Used to calculated element weight: ElementWeight=$WeightDensity*ElementLength. Optional, default = 0.
: NOT IMPLEMENTED IN CURRENT VERSION


==Notes ==

This section is used to model hinges at the ends of columns. The hinges may have shear and/or bending flexibility. These flexibilities are assigned to both directions in the plane of the section.
This section will be expanded to represent isolators....

The addSection command must be placed at the end of each Section-data definition, as it takes all data defined since the last addSection command and define the Section.



==Options ==

== OpenSees Object ==
This SectionModel is based on the OpenSees [[Section Aggregator]]
