    my_layered_section = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry.AddLayeredSection()
    my_layered_section.Name = "my_layered_section"
    
    first_layer_material = 'Structural Steel'
    first_layer_thickness = 10
    first_layer_angle_in_degrees = 30
    
    second_layer_material = 'Structural Steel'
    second_layer_thickness = 15
    second_layer_angle_in_degrees = 25
    
    #Now add the layers like below
    my_layered_section.Layers.AddThicknessLayer(first_layer_material,first_layer_thickness,first_layer_angle_in_degrees)
    my_layered_section.Layers.AddThicknessLayer(second_layer_material,second_layer_thickness,second_layer_angle_in_degrees)
