Connections at Split

The Connections at split area of the window allows you to define what happens to the sections at the split. Only SCTN elements only have this functionality.

If the Pick Section(s) to split on option is selected the Connections at split options of the Split Steel window becomes active.

You have three options to define how the ends of the split section(s) relate to one another after the split:

• None - the section is split at the Justification line of the section it is split on. However, there is no connectivity created between the sections.

  

• Nodes - the section is split at the Justification line of the section it is split on. SNOD and SJOI elements are created which connect the split sections to the section(s) they were spilt on.

  

• Trimmed - the section is split at the Justification line of the section it is split on. SNOD and SJOI elements are created which connect the split sections to the section(s) they were split on. The split sections are trimmed to the Pline at the extremity of the section(s) they split on.
