List steel sections
list_sectionsRead-onlyIdempotent
List the named steel sections FERS knows: European (IPE, HEA, HEB, HEM, UPE, RHS, SHS, CHS, L), UK (UB, UC, PFC) and US (W, HP, HSS, Pipe). check_beam and create_beam require one of these names, so call this rather than guessing. Returns names only — use get_section for a section's properties. Free.
