Using joints: Geometric attributes

Using Joints: Mesh  |  Geometric attributes  |  Material attributes  |  Spring stiffnesses  |  Supports  |  Loadcase properties

It is good practice to specify a geometric attribute (usually eccentricity=0)

Attributes > Geometric > Joint 

The geometric attribute may be assigned in the normal way, viz.: selecting the appropriate features with the mouse and then dragging the geometric attribute from the TreeView on the left to the working model pane on the right.
