TR.19.10 Prismatic

The property-spec for the PRISMATIC section-type is as follows:

AX
Cross-section area
IZ
Moment of inertia about the local z-axis
IY
Moment of inertia about the local y-axis
IX
Torsional constant
AY
Shear area for shear parallel to local y-axis.
AZ
Shear area for shear parallel to local z-axis.
YD
Depth of the section in the direction of the local y-axis.
ZD
Depth of the section in the direction of the local z-axis
Note: When listing multiple shapes, those section names must be provided in ascending order by weight since the member-selection process uses these tables and the iteration starts from the top.
