RelConnectsSurfaceEdge

Hinges on 2D member edge

A connection of two slabs (2D members) may be modelled as a fixed one or a hinge may be inserted to create a pinned connection. Three configurations of slab hinge are allowed: rigid, free, flexible. Under any configuration, all translations are fully transferred from one slab to the other. If there is no hinge, the connection is rigid.

This object is referring to the edge of StructuralSurfaceMember. Only for this object the indexing of edges starts with "0". All other objects are referencing with "1" based indexing.

Name of the column header	Type of data	Value example or enum definition	Required value	Description
Name	String	Sn6	yes	Human readable unique name of the support
2D Member	String	S3	yes	The name of the surface member to which is hinge related
Edge	Integer	0	yes	The index of edge of the surface member. The index starting with 0. The order is according to order of “edges” property at StrucutralSurfaceMember.
ux	Enum	Free Rigid Flexible	yes	Translation in X direction. Free - That is it imposes no constraint in the direction. Rigid - The connection in fully rigid in the specified direction. Flexible - The connection is flexible (elastic) in the specified direction. Parameter Flexible can be linear only, non-linearity is not supported.
uy	Enum	Free Rigid Flexible	yes	Translation in Y direction. Free - That is it imposes no constraint in the direction. Rigid - The connection in fully rigid in the specified direction. Flexible - The connection is flexible (elastic) in the specified direction. Parameter Flexible can be linear only, non-linearity is not supported.
uz	Enum	Free Rigid Flexible	yes	Translation in Z direction. Free - That is it imposes no constraint in the direction. Rigid - The connection in fully rigid in the specified direction. Flexible - The connection is flexible (elastic) in the specified direction. Parameter Flexible can be linear only, non-linearity is not supported.
fix	Enum	Free Rigid Flexible	yes	Rotational stiffness around X axis. Parameter Flexible can be linear only, non-linearity is not supported.
fiy	Enum	Free Rigid Flexible	yes	Rotational stiffness around Y axis. Parameter Flexible can be linear only, non-linearity is not supported.
fiz	Enum	Free Rigid Flexible	yes	Rotational stiffness around Z axis. Parameter Flexible can be linear only, non-linearity is not supported.
Stiffness X [MN/m2]	Double	100	yes, if ux = Flexible	The flexibility of the connection in X direction
Stiffness Y [MN/m2]	Double	100	yes, if uy = Flexible	The flexibility of the connection in Y direction
Stiffness Z [MN/m2]	Double	100	yes, if uz = Flexible	The flexibility of the connection in Z direction
Stiffness Fix [MNm/rad/m]	Double	50	yes, if fix = Flexible	The flexibility in rotation of the connection around local X axis
Stiffness Fiy [MNm/rad/m]	Double	50	yes, if fiy = Flexible	The flexibility in rotation of the connection around local Y axis
Stiffness Fiz [MNm/rad/m]	Double	50	yes, if fiz = Flexible	The flexibility in rotation of the connection around local Z axis
Coordinate definition	Enum	Absolute Relative	yes	Selects the coordinate system that is used to define the length of the hinge. Relative means without units. To define length of the hinges in meters input absolute
Origin	Enum	From start From end	yes	Specifies the origin of the coordinate system used for the definition of the length of the hinge
Start point [m]	Double	value in meters for Coordinate definition = Absolute 0,0 value in percentage for Coordinate definition = Relative 0,0	yes	Defines the position of the start point of the hinge in relative or absolute coordinates Units in meters [m]
End point [m]	Double	value in meters for Coordinate definition = Absolute 5,25 value in percentage for Coordinate definition = Relative 1,0	yes	Defines the position of the end point of the hinge in relative or absolute coordinates Units in meters [m
Parent ID	String	67b35d84-3d04-47aa-aa4a-dc1263982320	no	Is filled for objects created be dividing curved geometry to series of straight line objects. Parent ID will ensure that curved edge is imported as straight parts to nonsupporting application, and back to original supporting application as curved geometry. To ensure successful round trip of segmented objects and their related objects, Parent ID needs to be present in both directions.
Id	String	39f238a5-01d0-45cf-a2eb-958170fd4f39	no	Unique attribute designation
