This article is also available in
ENCSDEITNL

Cut operation is one of the most used modeling techniques in IDEA StatiCa Connection. It can also deal with the intersection of plates.

The operation Cut can also handle the intersection of plates with openings correctly.

Cut

Cut by Work plane is also possible. 

Cut by a plane

For Cut by "Plate" or "Work plane" + is for the direction of the plate, - is for the other way around.
For Cut by "Member" + means that a larger or equal part of the cut plate (modified item) will remain, - the smaller part will remain. 

Available in both Expert and Enhanced editions of IDEA StatiCa Steel.
