Plate relations to shell frames

The system determines the connection type for plate-to-shell frame relations similarly than for plate-to-profile relations when it applies automatic plate beveling. See Plate relations to profiles.

The connection type is either connection to a part in plan view or connection to a part in cross-section.

The bevel that is applied in each case is defined in plate beveling rules. See Plate beveling rules.

Note: The connection type can only be determined for connections to planar shell frames. For example, the connection type cannot be determined for relations to twisted shell frames.
