Cross Section: Elements - Shear factors

Three factors for the shear reduction may be entered. These factors correspond to the appropriate component Qy, Qz and Mz of the internal forces.

The usage of cross section variables ( without dimension ) allows to vary the factors along the segment. In this case, the value is defined by the variable and has not to be input.

Default: Factor-Qy = Factor-Qz = Factor-Mx = 1.0
