The Transformed composite cross section area is one of the cross section properties that is calculated by ShapeDesigner Pro software. See the full list of cross section properties calculated by ShapeDesigner Pro. Go to the ShapeDesigner product page.
When we use a non homogenous section (composite materials), we can view the transformed composite section properties with respect to a reference material. ShapeDesigner graphically shows the transformed section and the corresponding geometric properties. It also provides the stress distribution in the transformed section.
