Frame Connections

Frame Connection:

A way of establishing connectivity between member partsto represent physical relationships such as work pointoffsets, and logical relationships such as end releases

A placement positioning mechanism to represent physicalrelationships between member systems that establishesand maintains connectivity

Each Frame connection has at least one relationshipto another frame connection, grid line, standardmember, or design member
