Arguments

$SectionLabel: Unique Section Label for reference
$B: Width along horizontal/bending axis
$H: Depth along vertical/rotated axis
$CoverMaterialLabel: Previously-defined MaterialLabel. Used as cover material, defined outside the perimeter of the longitudinal reinforcement.
$CoreMaterialLabel: Previously-defined MaterialLabel. Used as core material, defined inside the perimeter of the longitudinal reinforcement.
$ReinfMaterialLabel: Previously-defined MaterialLabel. Used as longitudinal-reinforcement material.
$SectionDescription: Text. Optional, default = blank {}
$NBarTop: Number of Reinf. Bars in Top Layer. Optional, default = 0
$NBarBot: Number of Reinf. Bars in Bottom Layer. Optional, default = 0
$NBarInt: Number of Reinf. Bars in Each Intermediate Layer. Optional, default = 0
$BarSizeTop: Size Label of Reinf. Bars in TopLayer. Optional, default = #9
$BarSizeBot: Size Label of Reinf. Bars in Bottom Layer. Optional, default = #9
$BarSizeInt: Size Label of Reinf. Bars in Intermediate Layer. Optional, default = #9
$CoverTop: Cover to centroid of Reinf. Bars in Top Layer. Optional, default = 2. inch
$CoverBot: Cover to centroid of Reinf. Bars in Bottom Layer. Optional, default = 2. inch
$CoverInt: Cover to centroid of Reinf. Bars in Intermediate Layer. Optional, default = 2. inch
$nfCoreH: Number of core fibers along depth. Optional, default = 16
$nfCoreB: Number of core fibers along width. Optional, default = 16
$nfCoverH: Number of cover fibers along depth. Optional, default = 4
$nfCoverB: Number of cover fibers along width. Optional, default = 4
$nu: Poisson's Ratio. Used to calulated G=($E/2/(1+$nu). Optional, default = 0.2
$J: Torsional Moment of Inertia. Optional, default = 1.e8
$WeightDensity: Linear Weight Density of section. Used to calculated element weight: ElementWeight=$WeightDensity*ElementLength. Optional, default = 1.e8; NOT IMPLEMENTED IN CURRENT VERSION

Notes

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.
