Robot Open Standard : defining a steel rectangular custom section API

[guillaumeniel]

Hi,

I would like to define a steel rectangular custom section (not hollow) with ROS, and then define a custom material for it (I am using fabric sections).

Here is my script, for a concrete section : 

section.ShapeType = IRobotBarSectionShapeType.I_BSST_CONCR_BEAM_RECT
Dim concrete As RobotBarSectionConcreteData
concrete = section.concrete
concrete.SetValue(IRobotBarSectionConcreteDataValue.I_BSCDV_BEAM_B, 0.5)
concrete.SetValue(IRobotBarSectionConcreteDataValue.I_BSCDV_BEAM_H, 0.5)

What is the conversion for a steel section ? Do I only have to replace concrete by steel ? Also, how can I define the material for this section ?
