Discretization refers to the process of translating the material domain of an object-based model into an analytical model suitable for analysis. In structural analysis, discretization may involve either of two basic analytical-model types, including:

...

  • Displacement accuracy - To create joints at locations where accurate displacements are needed, otherwise values are interpolated from the nodes at either end of the frame element.
