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.

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.

Unique attribute designation
The index of edge of the surface member. The index starting with 0. The order is according to order of “edges” property at .
