This allows for the nodes defining joints to be collapsed - effectively removing the joint.

Joints can be created using the Sculpt > Constraint operations > Create joints menu command. The procedure is as follows.

Elements can be disconnected from the existing structure at a specified nodal position using the Sculpt > Disconnect elements menu command.

Joints allow nodes to be tied in the specified translational or rotational directions. Unlike rigid constraints, joints do not impose equilibrium on the model.
