Type [Truss/Beam] : The finite element representation is in the form of a truss or beam. The finite element representation is in the form of a truss or beam. Trusses can be used in cases where axial forces (tension and compression) are needed for calculations, while beams can be chosen for cases where bending, shear, and axial forces must be taken into account.
Orientation Angle: This parameter can be used to specify the orientation angle of the diaphragm.
