Joints
Joint (JOIN) - a 3D structural Component defining a physical means of attaching one Section to another. It consists of a list of component parameters and references to a Structural Pointset element, a 3D Pointset element and a 3D Geomset element. The two Pointsets and the Geomset make use of the component parameter values in defining the size and geometry of the Component. Refer to Joint (JOIN; SJOI) for further information.
Structural joints are catalogue components that are referenced via the Spref attribute of an SJOI element and are associated with the owning and attached members of the connection.
Joints may be complex or a simple, depending on the engineering requirement, that is the time and effort spent on their creation. Joints can consist of positive and/or negative 3D geometry components and may be any shape that can be defined by these components.
Joints are usually defined parametrically such that a single definition may be used for different size combinations of the Owning and Attached section’s Gtype.
