Any\\
joint
created internally by the program (say, due to auto-meshing) has a "~" prefix. The table "ANALYSIS RESULTS > Element Output > Objects and Elements > Table: Objects and Elements - Joints"  reports the coordinates for the point elements along with the name of the point object from which the joint element was created. If the joint element was not created from a point object, but instead was created as a result of internal meshing by the program, then JointObject entry is blank for this element in the table. The table can be displayed via "Display > Show Tables" menu command.

You can also display the internal joints graphically via "When [meshing|kb:Meshing] an object-based model into a [finite-element|kb:Meshing] model, {new-tab-link:http://www.csiberkeley.com/}CSI{new-tab-link} Software automatically creates *internal joints*, indicated by a ~ prefix, which supplement [joints|kb:Joint] created at the ends and corners of structural objects. Joint coordinates and information may be displayed in tabular format through Analysis Results > Element Output > Objects and Elements > Table: Objects and Elements - Joints. Internal joints will have a blank entry under Joint Object.

Internal joints may also be displayed graphically when users select Define > Set Display Options" menu command which will open "> Display Options For Active Window Form". Then check "Labels" and uncheck "Invisible" under Joints heading, and check "> Labels, then deactivate the Joints > Invisible option, and then select Miscellaneous > Show Analysis Model (If Available)".
