Primary Element
Description:
The PNODE is a fundamental "analytical" point of connection between Sections in an interconnected steelwork structure. Its position is used to define the placing of Sections within the design model and as a reference point for stress analytical calculations on the interconnected structure. Its position is defined relative to the coordinate system of the parent Structure (cf. the Secondary Node element, whose position is defined relative to an owning Section).
