Hierarchy Connector (HC)
Hierarchy Connector (HC) is a special entity in eTemplate in order to create markers.
• Hierarchy Connector is generated with respect to Ground Marker.
• It can make a model as Relative Coordinate System. On the contrary, RecurDyn modeling refers to Global Coordinate System.
• The modeling uses a Parent/Child concept. Therefore, if the user changes the parent, the child also will be changed relatively.
