Node
Summary
Creates a Node at any location within the member.
Nodes are constrained to the member selected during creation.
When interlocking with analysis, the node is used as an element segmentation point.
How to Run
[Base Mode / Point Library Mode / Curve Library Mode / Assembly Unit Mode]
Ribbon Menu > [Model] Tab > [Analysis] Group > Node
Explanation
Point Method
This method uses the offset distance to place a new node at that position.
[Method]
Select the point.[Select Member]
Select the member to constrain the node.[Location]
Enter the location of the node within the 1D geometry line of the member.[Alignment]
Set the method of calculating the node position according to the length change of the 1D Geometry Line.
Offset Method
Enter the offset distance to create a copy of the node at that distance.
[Method]
Select the offset.[Select Node]
Click the Select button and select the Node to copy by entering the offset distance.[Offset Distance]
Enter the offset distance at which to place the copied Node.
Refer to Alignment using Point method
