In the "Import Support Reaction" load wizard, the "Free Loads" object connection type is available in addition to the "Manual" ones. This option saves you the task of manually assigning the support reactions to specific nodes and lines. The support forces of the connected model are applied as free loads in this option.

You can use the "spline with minimum curvature" surface geometry type to generate curved surfaces on the basis of the control nodes in the middle of the surface.
This can be used to model terrain surfaces, for example.

- Numerous component types, such as base and end plates, web angles, fin plates, gusset plates, stiffeners, tapers, or ribs for easy input of typical connection situations
- Universally applicable basic components (such as plates, welds, bolts, auxiliary planes) for modeling complex connection situations
- Graphical display of the connection geometry with dynamic updating during the input
- Wide range of cross-section shapes: I-sections, U-sections, angles, T-sections, hollow sections, built-up cross-sections and thin-walled sections
- Library in Dlubal Center with program template connections as well as user-defined templates
- Automatic adaptation of the connection geometry based on the relative arrangement of the components to each other – even in case of subsequent editing of the structural components
