Form: Frame End Length Offsets
Frame end offsets are assigned to selected frame objects.
Select the frame objects to be assigned frame end offsets.
Click the Advanced > Assign > Frames > End (Length) Offsets command to access the Frame End Length Offsets form.
Choose an option to specify placement of the end offset:
Automatic from Connectivity. Choose this option to have CSiBridge calculate the end offsets from the connectivity of the model. The program will automatically calculate the end offsets from the Depth (Major) and Width (Minor) specified for the frame section properties (see the Dimensions write-up for the type of object selected).
Define Lengths. Type values for the offsets at End I and End J in the appropriate edit box.
Rigid Zone Factor. Specify a Rigid Zone Factor in the edit box. This is a factor used to define the percentage of the zone specified through end offsets to be taken as fully rigid. 0 means no rigid zone and 1 means that the entire zone is taken as rigid.
