Joint Names

Joints are named from a simple coding system comprising of:

• Joint group code

• Sub-type code

• Joint type code

• Owning GTYPE

• Attached GTYPE

• Additional information

• Suffix

For example: J1S1_WEL_PFC_PFC_001 and J2S6_FPL_CTUB_PFI_4H_001.

Additional information may be included, for example:

• 4H, 4 holes

• 8H, 8 holes

The suffix is either a sequential number or VAR (meaning the joint has no parameters, only design parameters and is variable).
