Member
Glossary Term
A member is the simplest structural element in a structure. It is defined by an initial and end node.
By assigning a cross-section and the related material, the member gets a stiffness. Members are always connected by the nodes only.
Members do not have any lateral expansion. Thus, they are an idealization of real structural components.
