Introduction to geometric types

According to its geometry, a connection can be sorted into specific group. SCIA Engineer enables the user to deal with the following groups of connection:

knee	$image\Conn_Type_knee.gif$
simple T	$image\Conn_Type_SimpleT.gif$
double T	$image\Conn_Type_DoubleT.gif$
cross	$image\Conn_Type_Cross.gif$
plate-to-plate	$image\Conn_Type_PlateToPlate.gif$
base plate	$image\Conn_Type_BasePlate.gif$

Note: In all types, the continuous element is called column, the element where the connection is situated, is called beam.
