# StructuralPointConnection

## Node

The basic object specifies the geometry of the analytical model and its members. The nodes define other entity types. Each node is defined by the position in the modeling space and by its name. For example, a 1D member ([StructuralCurveMember](/structural-analysis-elements/structuralcurvemember.md)) is defined primarily by its two end-points that are nothing else but two nodes.

If required, special boundary conditions can be defined for the StructuralPointConnection by StructuralPointSupport.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://gitbook.saf.guide/structural-analysis-elements/structuralpointconnection.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
