6.2 Section Properties (sections)

Purpose: Geometric properties for standard shapes — rectangle, circle, I-beam.

Method: Closed-form formulas ($A$, $I_{xx}$, $I_{yy}$, centroid).

UI: Legacy layout; unit profile.

Gaps: Limited shape library vs. profiles FEM route; no built-up sections.

Maintainer note: Geometric property equations with many shape variants.
