Commands

Operations on structural element links.

Links are how the structural element logic tracks interactions with surrounding objects. Links come in two types depending on what object they are interacting with. Currently the structural element logic supports node->node links and node->zone links, but more interaction types will be added in the future.

Each link supports a different interaction in all six degrees-of-freedom—the coordinate system of a link is always the local coordinate system of the host node.

Link properties and interaction details are by default supplied by the element they are connected to.
