A Grasshopper validation issue: Z component shows Ix instead of X component
According to my memory and the textbook, we need to calculate the Second Moment of Area (Ix) for bending when the load is applied along the Y axis, as shown in this graph.
I attempted to validate the grasshopper using a simple rectangle with dimensions of 10mm(width) by 20mm(height). However, I was confused by the results, as the Z component seemed to be the relevant one, instead of the X component as I expected.
It seems that Z component get Ix, X component get Iz for second moment of area.
And if validate those in other planes, same thing exists.
Can I know if this is a bug? It seems not right on its axis?
