1. | A line is a set of 2-node segments and can be defined: |
• | explicitly, with segment connectivity |
• | by box |
• | by subsets, parts, properties or materials (all trusses and beams belonging to these entities are used to define the line) |
• | by submodels (all trusses, beams and springs belonging to parts defined in the specified submodels are used to define the line) |
• | by truss, beam or spring groups |
• | by a surface (all lines of the surface are used) |
• | by edges (edges of the surfaces are used) |
• | with other lines |
