section cuts 1

[aliante]

Hello to everybody over there,

do you know where to read something about "section cuts".
I have this problem: I have a slab over a beam and shearing some nodes between them. If I use a "section cut" the resultant moment in the section cuts is the sum of the moment of the slab and the beam?
Thank you in advance for your help.

When you draw your section cut, just uncheck the "frame" object if you don't want to include it in the section cut. You can pick and choose what is in the section cut by unchecking boxes if you use the Draw menu>Draw section cut option. The other option with section cuts is to define a group for section cuts. If you go with that option, you can pick and choose what is included in that group.. exclude frames or exclude area elements

Hi Stressed,
thank you for your explanations. I've learnt two things I didn't know.
So you mean tha when I leave everything checked the moment is the sum of what each element absorb or partecipate?
Thank you very much in advance for you help.
