  • Additional adjustments will be carried out on connected 1D Member(s) at each new node.
  • These additional adjustments occur along the 1D Members’ local x axis.
  • The 1D Members’ End Release values are based on this new connection node
  • The 1D Members’ Startpoint/Endpoint values in SAF are based on this new connection node

For example:

A Beam is stretched to meet the Column, creating a new node. The “Adjust Connected Nodes” option is OFF.
