Users have control over when [joints|kb:Joint] begin to deflect during [staged-construction|kb:Staged construction] analysis. [Constrained|kb:Constraint] joints may be added to any construction stage, and may begin to deflect before objectstheir which connect to those jointsinterconnecting objects are added to the structure.

The handling of [constrained joints|constraint] in [staged construction] has been changed in SAP2000 V14.2.0 under Incident 17821. Previously all constrained joints deflected with the master joint as soon as any joint in a given constraint was present in the structure. Now the deflections of a constrained joint will not be updated until that joint has been added to the structure. The user can control when the joints begin to deflect by adding constrained joints at any stage, even before any connected elements are added.
