MatrixFrame® allows the definition of initial member geometry without considering rigid links.
Rigid link design model
Design model (used for structural definition):
Rigid link calculation model
Calculation model (used for interpretation of structural results):
The design model and the calculation model differ due to the influence of rigid links (l1 = l2, L1 ≠ L2, Lq1 ≠ Lq2). The load attachment is defined in the global coordinate system.
