Description

It would be very useful to get sections properties of a custom section.

Example

A user that wants to create a non-symetric section to be used as a profiled plate. However when creating the section it is useful to position the section in the second moment of inertia centroid / Shear center (Ys, Zs). This is not an easy task at the moment.

Research direction

Start by locating the custom-section creation entry point and any existing section-property types or accessors; the issue names no files or tests. Clarify which properties must be exposed, including the second-moment centroid and shear center coordinates (Ys, Zs), and how they should be used when creating a profiled plate. Done means custom sections provide the requested properties for positioning.
