Convert Section, Joint and Fitting Elements

To enable the use of the most recent structural functionality, it is necessary to convert Section (SCTN) elements to GENSEC elements. As part of the conversion process:

• Fitting (FITT) and Joint (SJOI) elements are converted to Fitting (FIXING) and Joint (FIXING) elements.

• Primary Node (PNODE)/Primary Joint (PJOI) elements are converted to End Datum (ENDATU) elements that own a Joint (FIXING) with the referenced joint.

Refer to Convert Sections for further information.

The profile specification of the GENSEC and FIXING elements must also be converted for compatibility with the most recent profile specification catalogue. Refer to Convert Profile Specification for further information.
