# Description
Elements in GSA are geometrical objects used for Analysis. Elements must be split at intersections with other elements to connect to each other or 'node out'.
Element1Ds are one-dimensional stick elements (representing 1D Element Types) used by the solver for analysis.
Refer to Elements to read more.
