[Sectioning Boundary]
Select whether to limit the section acquisition area of ​​Analysis Line to the finite area by receiving input from the user.

If you created an analysis line for a member as shown below. you created an edge in advance to create a 1D analysis line in a straight direction, but there was a discontinuity in the cross section (a mismatch in the number of vertices), so you separated the edge at that location. Image Added For Tapered Section-On, Generates a 1D element by placing the section taken from the Start Plane section acquisition point of the analysis line at the viewpoint of the analysis line and the section taken from the End Plane section acquisition point at the endpoint of the analysis line. Image Added For Tapered Section-Off, Generates a 1D element by placing the section acquired at the Start Plane section acquisition point of the Analysis Line onto the Analysis Line unit section.
