Design Database : Elements in Structural Category : Spine (of Gensec) Element (SPINE)
A SPINE defines the path through which a cross-sectional Profile must be swept to generate a GENSEC. The route of the Spine is defined by a sequence of Spine Points (POINSP): one at the start, one at the end, and one at each change of direction. Each segment linking adjacent Spine Points can be either a straight line or an arc of a circle: the latter is achieved by the insertion of a CURVE element, for more information on this element, refer to Curve (on Spine) Element (CURVE).
