The Axis Colinear node (the Axis Colinear sheet in the StructFrameConnections.xls workbook) defines the end colinear frame connections that are available.
Name
Defines the name of the frame connection. This is the name that appears in the software when placing a member system in the model.
Definition
Specifies the frame connection definition macro to use.
X Offset
Specifies an offset to apply in the x-direction after the two cardinal points are aligned.
Y Offset
Specifies an offset to apply in the y-direction after the two cardinal points are aligned.
Z Offset
Specifies an offset to apply in the z-direction after the two cardinal points are aligned.
Coordinate System
Specifies the coordinate system to use for the offset values. Local is the local coordinate system of the supporting member.
Supporting CP
Specifies to which cardinal point on the supporting member system to align the supported member system's cardinal point. You can specify any cardinal point number, or select 0 to use the cardinal point with which the supporting member was placed.
