Hierarchical linkage of objects

Objects can be linked to other objects. Creating a circular loop via object linkage is not permitted.

 

Use case:

  • Support O1 is applied on member S1 at a coordinate of 1.2 meters. Support O2 is linked to support O1 and placed at a relative distance of 6.0 meters from the coordinate of O1.  Support O3 is linked to support O2 and placed at a relative distance of -1.5 meters from the coordinate of O2.

Notes: 
  • Removal of a referenced object causes the coordinate of the linked object to be recalculated into an absolute value; 
  • When using the MatrixFloor package, relational objects are supported exclusively for defining gaps and loads;
  • Relational objects are not subject to any generator and/or wizard. Generators generate or regenerate unlinked coordinate values;
