0018. Geometric characteristics of typical cross sections

This calculation sheet will help you determine the perimeter, area, center of gravity, moments of inertia, and other geometric characteristics of various cross-sections. All shapes are defined parametrically. It will be useful for engineers and designers who perform compression, bending, torsion, and other calculations of beam and rod structures. To add a section and geometry calculation to your project, just perform COPY/PASTE.

  • Select and copy the desired block to your document (TechEditor diagram)
  • Edit the section dimensions with the slider
  • Use the necessary geometric characteristics in your calculations

Convenient dimensioning

For convenience, section sizes are set using sliders — you just need to double-click on the parameter and set the desired value on the slider with the mouse cursor.

Automatic calculations with units of measurement

All dimensions contain units of measurement that can be changed to the desired ones. The geometric characteristics of the sections are automatically calculated (if the auto-calculation option is disabled in your TechEditor configuration, press F5). You can also change the units of measurement or the accuracy of the final geometric characteristics.

Geometric characteristics

  • perimeter
  • area
  • gravity center position
  • moments of inertia

Types of cross sections

  • rectangle
  • circle

Document features

This document can be opened and edited in the TechEditor software. To work with these materials, first install the TechEditor environment on your computer.

Automatic calculations and units of measurement

All calculations are performed automatically, with double machine accuracy and support for units of measurement.

If the auto-calculation option is enabled (this is the default setting of TechEditor), then changing any parameter leads to a recalculation of the document. If the option is disabled, use the F5 key.

You can use any unit of measurement for physical quantities. TechEditor performs all intermediate calculations and unit conversions automatically, in the International System of Units.

Fully editable

You can edit any part of this document to suit your needs. You can also select and copy the desired part of this document to your project.
