This command allows the user to construct a WFSection2d object, which is an encapsulated fiber representation of a wide flange steel section appropriate for plane frame analysis.

section WFSection2d $secTag $matTag $d $tw $bf $tf $Nfw $Nff

---

$secTag	unique section tag
$matTag	tag of uniaxialMaterial assigned to each fiber
$d	section depth
$tw	web thickness
$bf	flange width
$tf	flange thickness
$Nfw	number of fibers in the web
$Nff	number of fibers in each flange

The section dimensions $d, $tw, $bf, and $tf can be found in the AISC steel manual.
