Sidebar

Structural Elements
Splits plane structural areas, area loads and load distribution areas by a line, polyline, circle or other curves.

First, select the element to be divided. Then select the elements that will be used to divide.

In the case of structural areas, the properties of the original areas are transferred to the created areas, except for the element number.

Note

Structural areas bound on axes will lose their reference to the axes and placements. Edge properties are deleted.

Load distribution areas can only be divided into elements with four corner points. Curved edges are replaced by chords.

Note

Splitting of non-linear area loads is an undefined behavior. The value of newly created edge points may vary after the split command.
