Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Sometimes it is necessary for structural engineers to calculate the section capacity of solid rectangular plate sections such as gusset plates. Currently eurocodedesign only contains standard sections with predefined geometry.

Describe the solution you'd like The inclusion of a class for rectangular solid sections where the height and width of the section are provided. e.g. RectangularSolidSection(h, b)

Upon instanstiation the RectangularSolidSection class will, based on the provided height and width, calculate all of the appropriate cross-section properties.

The section should inherit from SteelSection
