Beam to Beam Connection Node Tolerances

If a beam element connects to another beam and is within the designated tolerance, the nodes are merged. In the example, the two beam nodes are 50mm apart.

If the beam in beam tolerance is set to 0mm, the nodes are not merged.

If the beam in beam tolerance is set to 50mm, the two beam nodes are merged to a central point between the two nodes. This may result in the ISECT element being created at a slight angle, which may not be the desired outcome.
