A Substructure is created with the Substructures | Add Objects to Substructure command.
A Substructure is a collection of referenced Points, Lines, Surfaces, (and FEA Objects).
Creates a new Substructure or adds selected Objects to an existing Substructure
If Points are added to a Substructure, all of the Objects that reference the Points as end Points are also added to the Substructure
If Objects other than Points are added, the end Points referenced by the Objects are also added to the Substructure
If a Substructure is selected, all of the Objects referenced by the Substructure are added to the new Substructure
A Substructure only references other Objects. The referenced Objects still exist as unique Objects on the structure model.
