Structural Analysis Setup

The document defines the geometry and material properties for a finite element analysis model of a concrete beam. It specifies the beam's length, cross-sectional widths and radius of curvature. It also defines the elastic concrete material properties, number of elements, keypoints along the beam geometry, lines connecting the keypoints, areas defined by the lines, and extrusion of the areas to create solid elements for analysis.
