Cutback 2D Member

Cuts back all or part of the edge of a 2D Member plane, so that it can connect as needed to another Member.

If two 2D members overlap, this Cutback adjuster also eliminates the overlap:

Partial cutback

Check this to cut back only part of the 2D Member edge. This applies if the 2D Member edge and its target are in the same plane.

Min. segment length

If Partial cutback is enabled: An edge part will be cut back only if it is at least this long.

Maximum Cutback/Maximum Overhang
  Maximum cutback For each Cutback (or Stretch & Cutback) adjuster, you can set a maximum allowed cutback (“Max. cutback”). This distance is measured between unadjusted 1D Member Nodes and/or unadjusted 2D Member planes, in the structural analysis model.   ...
Stretch & Cutback
Use this to apply both of these adjusters to a single 1D or 2D Member. The Stretch & Cutback combination has the same effect as using the two adjusters separately. For example, a 1D Member may need to be stretched at one end, and cut back at the other end.   A 2D Member can be ...
