Checking Cross-Section Interconnection in SHAPE-THIN

How can I check if the cross-section modeled in SHAPE‑THIN is interconnected?

Answer:

The model check for interconnecting elements can be used to check whether the cross-section is interconnected.

You can access this function using the menu Tools → Model Check → Interconnecting Elements (Image 01).

Furthermore, a message appears before the calculation if the cross-section is not interconnected (Image 02).
