Select the a predefined cross-section point to
use for the member offset at each end.
- Points 1 through 9:
these correspond to the center, corners, and mid-edges of a fictitious bounding
box around the shape's extreme most points along in the local coordinates.
- 1) Mid depth left
- 2) Mid depth center
- 3) Mid depth right
- 4) Top left
- 5) Top center
- 6) Top right
- 7) Bottom left
- 8) Bottom center
- 9) Bottom right
Alignment points 1 through 9C.G. = geometric center or centroid; S.C. = shear centerU, V = principal minor and
major axes, respectively
- Points 10 through 14: these correspond to the
geometric center (i.e., C.G. or centroid) of the shape and the edges
of a bounding box containing the shape's extreme edges.
- 10) Geometric centroid (default)
- 11) Bottom in line with geometric
centroid
- 12) Left in line with geometric centroid
- 13) Right in line with geometric centroid
- 14) Top in line with geometric centroid
Alignment points 10 through 14C.G. = geometric center or centroid; S.C. = shear centery & z = transformed
(local) geometric axes, respectively
