The GeneralizedProfile object defines the properties of a profile via its area, moment of inertia, etc.
The GeneralizedProfile object is derived from the Profile object.
import section mdb.models[name].profiles[name] import odbSection session.odbs[name].profiles[name]
This method creates a GeneralizedProfile object.
