Thus, it is possible to decouple elements connected to a line (members, surfaces, and solids) from each other. A new line is generated at the same location; it only transfers the locked degrees of freedom. You can now also consider nonlinear effects.
First, it is necessary to create the line release type. Thus, the open degrees of freedom, spring constant, or possible nonlinearities are defined. Then, you can carry out the line release for members, surfaces, and solids on individual lines. In the same dialog box, you can also define the axis system of the release.
