title Detailed Explanation (Tapered Section)
When an Analysis Line is created for the following members Image Added For Tapered Section-On A 1D element is created by arranging the cross section obtained from the Start Plane cross section acquisition point of the Analysis Line at the starting point of the Analysis Line, and placing the cross section acquired from the End Plane cross section acquisition point at the end point of the Analysis Line. Image Added For Tapered Section-Off A 1D element is created by arranging the cross section obtained from the Start Plane cross section acquisition point of the Analysis Line throughout the Analysis Line.

• [Sectioning Boundary]

  • On : Sections are acquired within the direction and area size set by the user.

• If the user creates an Analysis Line for the following members:

• If the Taped Section check box is set to Off, place the section acquired at the Start Plane acquisition point on the Analysis Line at the start point of the analysis line, and place the section acquired at the End Plane acquisition point at the end point of the analysis line to create an analysis model. This creates the following analytical model:

• When the Taped Section check box is set to Off, the section acquired from the Start Plane section acquisition point of the Analysis Line is placed throughout the analysis line to create an analysis model. For example models, the bottom section is the starting section because it is an Analysis Line created from the bottom up. So the cross-section acquired from the bottom is placed throughout the analysis line. If the Reverse Direction option is set to On, the top section will be placed across the analysis line to create an analysis model.

• Specify the starting point of the analysis line as the starting point of the analysis line, and the point away from the end point of the analysis line by the length entered in Sectioning Offset (S). In addition, point from the end point of the analysis line to the start point of the analysis line by the length entered in Sectioning Offset (E) is designated as the end point.

• Create an analysis member by drawing a plane perpendicular to the analysis line at each acquisition point and placing the plane and the intersection with the Sectioning Ref objects at the start and end points of the analysis line, respectively.

• When the Taped Section check box is set to Off, only the Sectioning Offset (S) input box is activated, and the cross-section acquired at that point is placed across the analysis line to create an analysis member.

• If the user creates an Analysis Line for the following components and enter 2m in the Sectioning Offset (S) input box and 1m in the Sectioning Offset (E) input box,
