Objects can be linked to other objects. Linkage of the objects is creating the circular loop is not permitted.
Use case:
Support O1 is applied on the member S1 on the coordinate of 1.2 meters. Support O2 is linked to support O1, also placed at the 6.0 meters relative distance from the coordinate of O1. Support O3 is linked to support O2, also placed at the -1.5 meters relative distance from the coordinate of O2.
Final notes:
- Removal of the referenced object will cause recalculation of the coordinate of the linked object to the absolute value;
- Using the MatrixFloor package, the relational objects are supported by the definition of the gaps and loads only;
- Relational objects are not subject to any generator and/or wizard. Generator(s) are generating/re-generating not linked values of the coordinates;
