Specifies the method Smart 3Dx uses to determine the member system that splits another member system. The list is defined by the SplitStatus codelist.
By Rule indicates that the software looks at the Continuity Type and Continuity Priority Number values defined on the Member System Tab (Member System Prismatic Properties Dialog) to determine the member system to split. Member systems set to Continuous split the other member system. Member systems set to Intercostal are split by the other member system. The Continuity Priority Number specifies the member system that is split when two member systems intersect, but both have Intercostal for the Continuity Type. Member systems with a lower continuity priority (1, 2, 3, for example) split member systems with a higher continuity priority (7, 8, 9, for example).
Split First indicates that the member systems that you identified during the Split Members step are split by the member systems that you identified during the Splitting Members step.
Split Second indicates that the member systems that you identified during the Splitting Members step are split by the member systems that you identified during the Split Members step.
Split Both indicates that all member systems that you have identified in both steps are split against each other.
Split None indicates that no member systems are split, but the interference between the two objects is suppressed.
