Joint definition

I modeled a 3D truss; About joint
defining: for joints that more than 2 beams element connect in them, is this
way correct to define pin connection between them?

If there are 3 beam element: 1, 2, 3

I defined first MPC constraint (pin)>
control point: from beam 1, and slave point: from beam 2

And for second constraint>
control point: from beam 2, and slave point: from beam 3

Is this definition result mean that
beam 1 and 3 are pin at that joint?

Theoretically yes. Practically, it depends the order in which they are defined. why Dont you use point 1 as the ref. point for point 3 as well?

The world started with 0, is progressing with 0, but doesn't want 0.
